Free Music Notes for Vainglory
Free Music Review: Two Words: Decapitation Attack
Hit: 4 Stars
I discovered this band and album through a Google search for "fast, aggressive, yet still melodic heavy metal". Google's search results turned out to be very accurate!
Vainglory's self-titled album is excellent heavy (and I mean HEAVY) metal. There is incredible guitar work and incredible vocals by Kate French.
Yes, Vainglory is fronted by a female singer, but Kate was definitely not hired just for her looks. This woman can sing! Her voice is actually deeper than that of some male metal vocalists.
As you might expect with a female vocalist, the album does include one ballad. It's called "Undying Love". But don't let the title fool you, this is the heaviest ballad I have ever heard (beating the previous record holder "Into the Fire" by Mystic Prophecy).
And in case you thought "Undying Love" was too mellow (it wasn't) the next song is the instrumental "Decapitation Attack". The 30 second clip here on Amazon.com simply can not do this song justice. The preview merely cuts your hair, the complete song takes your whole head off!
If this album has a fatal flaw that keeps it from a perfect five-star rating, it is that the other songs simply aren't as memorable, and tend to blend together in one's mind. Also, with a running time of over 66 minutes, this disc may grow tiresome on subsequent spins.
But all in all, an excellent effort that should appeal to fans of power metal bands like Mystic Prophecy, as well as fans of bands like Pantera.
This album is also available in a Limited Edition. That's important to know because that page links to sound clips from this CD (click on the "Music Download" edition).
