Recently i received a package with the latest releases from Sound Riot, actually i had to receive something from this label almost two years but better later than ever. So this time is the turn for Unchained, a band from Sweden and here we have their self titled full length album, which they include nine tracks of melodic metal. After a promo CD back in 2002 the band achieves to release their debut album early this year. So what to expect for a new band coming straight from Sweden? For sure at least a quality release. Unchained, follow the path of melodic metal, with interesting, well worked compositions and smart ideas inside their songs. But while the band did a great start with "My Guide", their single track, then we have "The Analyst" another great track and then "Ghost of the Alchemic Hall", suddenly they lost their ideas, i don't know why it happens, the rest tracks are almost just some average melodic metal tracks, except the last one, which close really great the album. I believe that if Unchained had tracks like the three first in the whole album, we will had a great debut album, but now i believe that they must work more and to release these tracks in their second attempt. The guys have the abilities, now they need only time for hard work and i am sure they will the future in their feet. If you like melodic metal, like Edguy, Iron Maiden and other great bands check the album from Unchained.
