| The House of Metal Album Review |
| June 2004 | Rating: 9/10 | By Brandon, Founder of The House of Metal |
This is an ass kicking release. I have been a fan of these guys for a few years now, and it's easy to see why they have a continually growing fan base. The album's music is comparable to the likes of early Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden and maybe a bit of the Scorpions for good measure.
Singer Jeff Klingbiel handles all of the Guitars and Vocals, and that which he does magnificently. His solos are smoking and his vocals filled with power and energy. Bassist Norm Michaud provides a solid and grooving rhythm for these songs. Drummer Shawn Bastien is as solid as they come in this business, he rarely, if ever, skips a beat.
The album's production is a bit shaky, the guitar tone is drenched with distortion and the bass sound is a bit dry, but not really enough so to turn the listener off. It is an odd production style but it does add a bit of rawness to sound, something I'm sure most metal fans want.
Check out the songs "Descendants of Death" or "Rusted Icons" to hear what I'm talking about, they are filled with the elements every metal fan wants in a song. This album has no filler and rocks you from beginning to end. To hear what truly excellent musicians these guys are try #7, Sands of Time.
Betrayer are beginning to change the trends, and it's time for the world to listen.
