Slavery – Dawn Of Mankind

SLAVERY come from the Danube town of Ulm and put us via Sonic Attack before their debut album, even though it was already a self-published before Scheib Lette. Those from the south who are dedicated to power metal, but to bring a touch of originality, so the songs are much more complex and varied than one might commonly feared.Here on the plus side are the stirring guitar work of the two six-string Dirk Netter and Philip Schlothauer that can compete with almost anyone, and the fact that the band have taken with ‘The Gunslinger’ one of the greatest epics of fantasy literature as a template. Outweighed negative, this is unfortunately sometimes the intricate and little-follow song structures whose Breaks sit unfortunately seldom really adequate, such as in said ‘Gunslinger’ or in ‘Morning Glory’, with its ups and downs from Happy metal and thrash.

Also a point of criticism is unfortunately singer Philipp Bohnacker who strives, but does not have enough power in his voice to the compositions can make his mark. Especially in the higher range, he has significant weaknesses which are unnecessary, especially because he very confident in the deeper area. The difference can be clearly (I think – the band is obviously in my opinion) in the song ‘Leaving Eden (Part 1)’ to hear. In the deeper passages sounds Philipp great! With another vocal arrangements, many of the songs clearly win on “Dawn Of Mankind”!

So unfortunately there is only a good, but still half-baked work, which indeed shows strong approaches, but still can not totally convincing distance. When a young band like SLAVERY is allowed but which overstate certainly not, and also the fact that the musicians have their own style yet found quite and poaching in different territories, it should not be too much put on the gold scale, especially as the density of great riffs amazingly high. Everything else can still become, write riffs seems as far more important.

A word about the texts: Even if the ‘Gunslinger’ and the song title suggests, it does not leave, the men have to say quite a bit. Unfortunately I only have a pre-download (one thing is certain: Downloads are NOT Metal), so I make the text can not be read in full and that’s why I leave no differentiated comment in the location, but it is refreshing in any case, from Germany once again be heard more than the typical cock & ball or I-am-so-so-metal lyrics.
