Simply a masterpiece – 98%
Sarissa’s first demo is a monument in the Hellenic metal scene.
This is one of the most influential groups in Greece, and although it was released as a demo back in ’87, in reality it is a professional piece of work. I have to admit that it is superior to their first album and this is hard for me since I regard their first release as the epitome of the Hellenic heavy metal scene.
What we have here is nine songs of fast, powerful and epic heavy metal. This is the very definition of the heavy metal sound. Fast and heavy guitars, fast and rhythmical drums, epic singing, melodic solos and clean and distinct bass. The production is professional and characteristic of the sound of late eighties with dry and sharp guitars that produce a very heavy and unique music.
The album is full of bright ideas, superb solos with melodic riffs in the background, epic singing with background choruses, solo drums along with the voice… Listen to songs like Makedonian Army and Electrical Axes and you will know what I mean.
This is truly one of the best releases ever to come out of a Hellenic band and competes with other colossal albums of the same genre. It’s a pity it’s hardly known outside Greece.
