EVIL SURVIVES
"Metal Vengeance" (Heavy
Artillery Records; 2011)
Reviewed by Jeff Rogers
Evil Survives are heavy metal: the nasty riffs, melodic
solos, running drums and a singer who belts it out in harmony with the guitar --
what else would you expect? The bass often sounds like Iron Maiden and that's no
easy feat. The guitar is the real show here, quick blasts of melodic mayhem that
lead into some really great solos that seem to scream forever.
The vocals are a mixture of two different styles, hard rock and heavy metal.
They're all right, but nothing to rave about. After a while the guitar will
emerge as the chosen voice of this band and you'll be amazed at some of the
updated, albeit classic, metal Evil Survives produces. The guitarist's name is
Adrian Riff -- now that's a guitar player's name!
These guys have been plugging in around Canada and the USA for a few years and
this is their third disc.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
