Hangar
The Reason for your Conviction
Rating
Style: Power Metal
Release date: May 26th 2008
 

Hangar plays fast power metal like a million other bands, sound wise and style wise we are not that remote from the leaders in Brazilian power metal Angra. Aquiles Priester, current Angra drummer founded Hangar back in 1997, and his contribution to this album is really strong.

The album has twelve well written and played songs, produced by Aquiles Priester and mixed and mastered by Tommy Newton, and that combination has resulted in a good and sound sounding album.

The technical level is up to par, and the songs are good but none of them really sticks out, actually the bonus track for Japan 'Your Skin and Bones' is one of the better songs on the album, and I could easily have done without the cover version of the classic Peter Frampton song 'Breaking the Rules', not a favourite of mine.

Solid craftsmanship from Brazil, but nothing more than a fine and solid album that most likely will go under in the massive sea of releases! But don't let that scare you off if you are into classic power metal.
