CRYSTAL BALL “Dawnbreaker”

CRYSTAL BALL
”Dawnbreaker”
(Massacre)
What’s great about doing this is that I get to hear bands that I otherwise wouldn’t have given the time of the day to. Not because I don’t know of them but because I don’t have that time outside of doing this to be on top of everything that is being released. CRYSTAL BALL is one of these bands. I’m not one for intros. I’d rather that they get going from the beginning. To be honest I sometimes have a hard time hearing what is hardrock and what is metal. This to me is metal with a melodic touch. I guess if you like stuff like Pink Cream 69 you might like this too. I also get a modern Helloween feel to this album. All in all I’d say that this is pretty classic heavy metal. Nothing really fancy but a bunch of cool songs thrown together to make an album. Anders Ekdahl
