For the older metal fans the name Michael Vescera will certainly ring a bell. The man has put his mark on records by Obsession, Reign of Terror, Loudness and Yngwie Malmsteen. After that he made 3 records under the name MVP (Michael Vescera Project). 

On this new solo-record he is assisted by Jim Bell and BJ Zampa (both House Of Lords), Chris McCarvill (Obsession, Jef Scott Soto), Mats Olaussen (Yngwie, Ark), Scott Boland, John Bruno, Joy Mezias (all Obsession), Todd Kennedy, Tony Mei (both XfactorX) and 2 "guitar master" discoveries; 17 years old Joey Concepion and Ango Tasso from Taiwan.

Opener "Between Heaven and Hell" is a neat song, the melody lines and singing are in Yngwie style. On the whole record Michael's singing is of old. The man doesn't have to prove himself anymore. O.k. he is not the best singer in the world, but he finishes high enough. "Something to Believe" is a slower epic song with high vocals and a nice melody. Personally I like the more faster tracks, such as the opening track and "Hands of Fate". All songs include nice guitar solos and the record is well produced.

If you are crazy about classic melodic metal, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, with good vocals and excellent guitars, just take a change.
