I
follow Masterstroke from their latest two demos, actually
they have three demos. Masterstroke comes from Finland
and last year in was their year, they recorded their debut
album "Apocalypse".
After
a year I have in my hands the Japan edition of this work thanks
to the guys at Stay Gold group. I liked both the demos
that I had the chance to hear from this band and now I feel
satisfaction that finally they achieved to make it, to have
their debut album.
In
this work the band included ten tracks, one is the Japan bonus
track and more than fifty minutes of pure melodic power metal.
Their compositions are well written with some very impressive
ideas and a great singer who transfer the energy and the power
that this band has.
As
you can imagine we have a very good production and sound here
that allows us to feel and hear all the things that the band
included in their songs. Of course Masterstroke hasn't
discovered something new, but they have added their personal
touch inside their songs and this is why they have such powerful
songs.
