ATKINS MAY PROJECTEmpire Of Destruction

More
metal, this time from guitarist Paul May and vocalist Al Atkins, who’ve
been working on and off for a couple of decades now, with this their
third album under the Atkins May Project banner.
You
won’t be surprised to learn that it fits mainly into the power metal
bracket, what with Al Atkins having to contractually fulfill his Judas
Priest founder tag. And there are some excellent tunes here with ‘Here
Comes The Rain’ and ‘Whisper To The Wind’ well worthy of repeat plays.
Atkins may not be the best singer in the world, but he knows that, and
makes sure that he plays to his strengths. Which is why the cover of
Thin Lizzy’s ‘Are You Ready’ doesn’t work.
May
is a fine guitarist and knows his way round a big riff, and when they
stray slightly into prog metal territory, he gets to show his chops
off. It’s a good, solid album, and if you get your finger out, you’ll
get a version with a bonus DVD of music videos and an interview with May
and Atkins.
