Review EpicMetal.net (Cyprus) : In a glow of Crimson Red

Soulsteeler are a melodic power metal band from Belgium. The band was created in 2001 and since then they have released 2 demos and one mini CD. We were honored that we have received this 1000 copy cd which was produced by the band at the hype studios. About the Album: This is a five song album (included a prelude), the album is called “In A Glow Of Crimson Red" which was released in june 2007. most of the songs are 6 + minutes. Although Soulsteeler are an independent band the package is very good it contains a booklet with lyrics and information (good point guys). this was an interesting album, which reveals the potential of the band. We liked the album and we believe that soulsteeler can produce and play much more better music. All songs have the features of melodic and power metal, with nice metal melodic riffs. The opening song “break down the wall” has an interesting intro with shows the creativity of the guitarist. The same song has also a very good riff. The second song” somniphovia” is a power song with 80s metal style guitars. The 4th song “ Crimson Red” is the best song of the album – dynamic intro, creative riffs, melodic and dynamic. At a point at the middle stages of the song the keyboards blend very good to create a very good metal feeling. The final song “ destiny’s at hand” continues at the same pace as the rest of the songs however it has an interesting guitar solo which worth’s listening to. The production of the mini cd was not very good however. We believe the band should have paid more attention to details of the production. For example the drums and and the vocalist are not heard very good and in some points of the album you get the feeling that they could have created a better productions. Soulsteeler have a long way to go, they have the talent, they have the passion and they can produce better. They have a future in the metal scene as long as they pay attention to details Buy the cd and support this independent band. Not only you support the band but you will add to your collection a mini cd with only 1000 copies in circulation –the cost is only €5 from the band’s webpage 7/10
