German Heavy Metal act FORENSICK’s second album has a strong sound that should see them to some good success on the European metal scene, with strong guitar work, a mixture of old school metal with a bit of a modern edge to it, and plenty of style and attitude.
Opening up with “Hero Of The Day”, there’s some great chunky guitar riffs meeting with powerful drums and pounding basslines, before we are introduced to the lead vocal, which is plenty melodic, lots of high notes and very old school in delivery. The chorus is pretty cool with some crazy head voice stuff going on and some very cool solos too, making this a good start to the album. “Doomsday Machine” follows this up with a kind of SABBATH on steroids” kind of vibe, with twisting riffs, a good sense of speed, and some cool harmonies too, with a kind of Tony Martin vibe to the vocals on this one.
