  As I have noted in a few previous reviews, I'm not a big fan of this trend of retro-metal bands that seem to be aping the NWOBHM sound.

  So I was set to not really like this album, but I am finding myself pleasantly surprise as I'm listening to it. There is clearly a heavy Iron Maiden influence here, but I feel like the walk just up to the line without crossing it. I think they also mix in enough thrash to keep things interesting. And while the singer is clearly doing his best Dickinsonian operatic growl/howl, I think the fact that he is singing in Spanish is enough to set it apart for me and not be annoying.

  I don't know that I'll return to this album, but it's a lot of fun the first time through.
