Helloween - 7 Sinners: old rockers still have much to say

I must admit that Halloween's got in the bag of rice after hearing last Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy, and what they have been drawing since he had not served to make me change my mind. Nor was it surprising that begin to exhaust their ammunition, as we are talking about training that has long surpassed the quarter century active with more positives than negatives, a journey that few could boast.

Recorded in the studios Mi Sueño de Tenerife, the album is full of songs with classic taste, without reaching the height of the best power metal of the 90 but showing that the genre in general and in particular Helloween still have much to say. Teachers return to give his many disciples a lesson in how to make a great album, so let's get comfortable and listen to their particular interpretation of the deadly sins.

Nobody in their right mind would expect that Halloween is put to reinvent the wheel at this stage of life. And avant-garde had their day, still regarding the hard sound out of Germany and now in charge, yet right in the world, to further exploit the mine. But I mean to engage in live income, like many others in his situation, but will be successful using the same resources as always, and without being so repetitive.

The quintet focuses on what best to do since I have known Andi Deris is leading the band, strong riffs and galloping batteries galore, epic songs that seek but do not forget the sense of humor. The compositions are at full speed, reducing the minimum required intensity, the solos are as great as ever, the keyboard gives texture to the set point and never fails to Deris micro.

The whole hour-long slash the standard version but not the least bit tired, because although not all songs work just as well, the average level remains above the approved comfortably. In any case I recommend purchasing the three bonus tracks have been included in several special editions of this 7 Sinners, and stretch it to the sixteen songs providing even more fire.

Although the general tone of the album is to present the Halloween heavier, there is variety enough to enjoy its many versions. For the more muscular we have them in 'Long Live the King' (YouTube), the most direct 'Metal Are You? " (YouTube), the most epic "Far in the Future ', the last serious contender for great hymn.

There is no shortage of course the ballads and plays very well in this regard 'The Smile of the Sun', or surprises as the Jethro Tull momentazo of 'Raise the Noise'.
