Стальные нервы
Открой глаза
Grimm Distribution
For those of you who are going to learn Russian, I can spare you some effort. My translation of band`s name is Nerves Of Steel. Where is steel there is often heavy metal!
First of all, songs are very melodic where come to vocals, guitar leads and solos - all the way from start to the end of the album. They prefer speed on guitars like in German heavy metal (Helloween) but also have a nice, slower track, almost like a ballad (5). Few times I recognized some Iron Maiden/Judas Priest influences, not very obvious, but still, it`s good they have them. The sound is average, not that good to give songs the greatest of shapes but OK. On the other hand, the music dynamics are pretty good and it`s more important for me when I think about this record.
...And then. I tried to find those most catchy moments or best arrangements in songs. Every time, through music, they gave me answer that there are not just 2-3 good tracks here but much more. More precisely the whole album is tending to have really good compositions with a lot of diversity. Also, they do want their music to have songs that are never the same. The band indeed, do their best to come up with those catchy songs that nearly reach that thunder-striking level of speed and build heavy metal vibe. It felt pretty good to hear highlights of the album which are songs 4, 5, 6(!), 8,10,11 while other tracks are possibly memorable and still quite good.
Hope that Стальные нервы will survive on a scene. This album has a potential to make them better band in the future. They have vocals in Russian language which is original and sound differently than other heavy metal bands.
