Reviews BLODEN WEDD - EYE OF HORUS - TOXIC
Don't worry if you have never heard of Bloden Wedd. The band hails from Chile. Don't stop reading though for the band is a good one. The quartet has been around for over ten years and on Eye Of Horus launches an impressive brand of heavy/power metal in the style of Stratovarius, Freedom Call and Skid Row. The band's commitment to the style is not in doubt given the music and the presence of a song called Power Metal Pride, but it is the professional musicianship, stimulating music (including some nifty drumming) and myriad of sounds that impresses the most. From hard and heavy to balladry Bloden Wedd knows its stuff. Firebird might be heavy, but Still Believe is a commercial rocker. Untold Words sounds like a '80s ballad a la Skid Row, but the title track brings vintage Queensrÿche or Stratovarius to mind. Sure, it is not too difficult to pleasantly surprise the listener if you are from Chile, except in this case the band can stand on its own in any country. - Ali "The Metallian"
