Reviews KHOUS – GEROAREN HAZIAK – ART GATES Khous’ brand of crossover and thrash-esque metal could be compared to early Anthrax, RDP, Sepultura or a dozen other bands, but a lack of originality is not what bothers anyone at Metallian Towers. In fact, most often it is bands, which attempt to be original and astray from the core and fundamentals of metal that are negligent and deficient. Khous’ lyrics being in Spanish are not a negative either. Anyone heard Warning from France or the early Loudness albums? Those were fabulous and true metal bands and music.
What brings Khous down is the pathetic, flat and hollering yelling that masquerades as vocals. Beyond that, the production is flat and the songs merely average, but it is the clean vocals that drag the band down to the realms occupied by inferior musical entities. Some smart readers may presume that based on the description Khous is about to be huge on the metal scene – after all Dave Mustaine or Ozzy Osbourne cannot sing to save their lives – but Khous just will never cut it. There is little, if anything, to compensate for the antagonizing vocals. The music kicks in occasionally and the second vocal track is quite good; it comprises the aggressive screams and the effects-oriented brutal voice. Alas, the singer and his clean singing return and it all becomes but a short respite from the weaker hollering. – Ali “The Metallian”
