[Review] POWERWORLD - Powerworld (2008)
 Artwork by : Carl-André BeckstonCatalog number : 00050 | POWERWORLD, it's the new baby project of the ex-MOON DOC and FREEDOM CALL bassplayer Ilker Ersin. It was born in 2004 but the real "life" of POWERWORLD begins in 2006-2007 thanks to Barish Kepic guitar's help. Neils Neumann (ex-FREEDOM CALL) and Jurgen Lucas (ex-AT VANCE) join the band too. The last thing they need (it reminds me of ... JADED HEART 2005's period, no ?) a singer ... The first one who has been chosen was Chitral Somalpa, known for his FARO band. Finally, Steffen Brunner is chosen as the "right voice". This self-titled release sounds Melodic Metal with some Progressive touches ... It's a really nice first effort, with great melodies as the ballad Dancing With Angels or the fantastic Our Melody and the CUTTING CREW's cover I (Just) Died In Your Arms. Of course, it looks like some other german bands but it's a pleasure to listen the POWERWORLD fresh songs ! |
