With "Empire Of
Destruction" Al
Atkins and Paul
May we suggest the third album of their project
launched in 2010 The former lead singer of Judas
Priest and not lose more time and even if this
career is confidential man clearly pleased without thinking
about retirement.
The first two discs of the universe logically duo had a
very old school in terms of heavy metal with trends ranging
from Dio , Maiden to Judas
Priest . "Empire Of Destruction" confirms
that road with old, recalling his pocket
productions Manilla Road , typical
vintage sound very 80s.
And as long as one is a good time amateur we will
listen to this very classy disc. Despite his 66
years Al Atkinsremains an interesting
singer near a Dio. Certainly it
does not have the power of youth, but it retains a passion and
a very interesting energy. His friend on guitar confirms
an enormous talent for typical riffs and solos of good old
heavy metal. And 'A World At War', 'The Midas Touch',
'Reckless Child' or 'Dog Eat Dog' they do the job with ease
and a beautiful metallic writing worthy 80s.
But the musicians also have the intelligence to propose a
few changes with longer songs. Pretty epic, 'Here Comes
The Rain' and 'Whisper To The Wind' show
that Atkins and May can
succeed in a more progressive style. There are some
beautiful passages air guitar and a melodic voice with a
convincing felted grain, all in the spirit
of Saxonera "Crusader".
30 years ago,
"Empire Of Destruction" would certainly have met with great
success esteem. Today, he probably speaks only a few
nostalgic sound and music of another era. However we must
respect the work of these artisans a heavy metal old proudly
resistant to time and modes.
