Métal Intégral - Review / TARAMIS

Old school

Approximate translation of the review

How to return attracting CD which at the beginning should have remained in the shade in 2009?
MY GRAVEYARD found the answer!

do CD Put on which figure a correct album of Heavy Metal (Queen Of Thieves, left initially in 1987), add there of no-claims bonus the demonstration five titles of PROWLER (pre TARAMIS), Blood & Honour of 1984.
It is well not? … What? You want some even more?
Good and well your wish are raised! A DVD no-claims bonus containing two concerts of TARAMIS is offered in no-claims bonus!
a concert of 1986 and one of 1987!

the concert of 1986 is filmed into super 8 and it is necessary to seek the colors and clearness…
Heureusement the quality of the sound is correct and leaves distinct each instrument and the singer.
the public (in my opinion not far from 500 people) hot and is won over to the cause of the group, which gives dynamism to the concert.
the camera is placed at the bottom of the room and in height, which gives an overall good sight. A very good concert with a singer very close to the public, and which (fortunately) moves, which is not the case of the bass player and the guitarist…

the concert of 1987, will be less better filmed and especially it takes place in a club, owe hardly a hundred spectators more than passive… One imagines the group easily to open for a more popular group…

to return to album Queen Of Thieves, it will satisfy the amateurs of Heavy Metal (IRON MAIDEN, CULPRIT, HEIR APPARENT in particular) mixed with Heavy the rather technical one (change of frequent rates/rhythms) and sometimes of the épique one. The
titles all are long (on average more than five minutes) and will leave room to sympathetic nerves musical passages.
L' album left in 1987 and had a European distribution on ROADRUNNER, with a different small pocket.

Certain titles like Doesn’t Seem or The Chosen are for me excellent in the made up kind to the IRON MAIDEN, CULPRIT or LIEGE LORD !
Of other titles will be less hookers over the length, the song, a little just and which misses relief is one of the causes (Queen Of Thieves, Path To Aquilonia or Wolves for example)…

the demonstration of PROWLER is not exceptional either, and will show the first steps of TARAMIS. From the Heavy plus Thrash.
For the archivists of Metal 80 ' S especially…

TARAMIS will require attention and several listenings for really liking, if you are “fronts/refrains” go your way!
Queen Of Thieves will be all the same more Heavy Metal that the album of 1991 (Stretch Of The Imagination).

In short an album, which with some small adjustments, could have been true a success. This remasterized version will allow it to you (Re) to discover under good conditions (in spite of some obvious lengths).

Style: Technical Heavy Metal
Artistic Part: 4/5
Interest for the Fans of 80 ' S Heavy Metal: 3,5/5
Interest for the traditional Metal Fans in general: 3,5/5
RASKAL The French Warrior give: 15/20
RASKAL the Objective give: 16/20
