[Review] POWERWORLD - Human Parasite (2010)
 Artwork by : Carl-André Beckston Catalog number : 308572 | I've waited more than I've expected, to get this new POWERWORLD opus. Thanks to Barish Kepic, I've got many informations about Human Parasite. Called Human Parasite at first, later called Tame Your Demons (with Steffen Brunner and Jurgen Lucas leaving) and finally called again Human Parasite, this album has been "THE album I've to get for this year" ! About new comers, we've now Andrew McDermott as singer (best known for his THRESHOLD work), Achim Keller (VICTORY) as drummer. For this last one, he's not the man who have recorded the drums studio part. Human Parasite, as Barish Kepic has mentionned, doesn't sound really Melogressive Metal but more Heavy Melodic Metal. Ilker and him has done a great work together. Stand Up, East Comes To West or Caught In Your Web for example are really fantastic. However, I've found that Steffen Brunner was better than Andrew McDermott as singer and Self-titled was better too than Human Parasite. I think I've hoped more than I could and may be it's this last point which makes me feel disappointed ! A good second effort, far away from the first one ! I'm a little bit disappointed but I wish the best to the band and especially to Ilker Ersin (It's his baby project. Don't forget it !). |
