DREAMLAND MANOR
Gorilla find new SAVAGE CIRCUS disc stuck to a pile of gummi bears outside cage at zoo. Hot elf on cover of
Dreamland Manor remind Gorilla of
Lord Of The Rings Movies...only Gorilla not get Raisinettes and popcorn with this CD...All Gorilla get is sticky hand from all the gummi bears.
Dreamland Manor
sound a lot like BLIND GUARDIAN, which Gorilla find interesting.
Drummer Thomen Stauch is from Blind Guardian, so why would he form band
that sound just like his old band? At least that what Gorilla think.
Feel free to disagree. Hey, that rhymes.
Having say that, Gorilla really enjoying this CD. Technically, this
band is superior...machine gun drums, harmonized guitar solos,
screeching vocals. Remind Gorilla of early IRON MAIDEN in some parts...
or a lot of European metal acts that can't make two nickels this side
of Atlantic ocean. Along with Thomen's furious bouble bass kicking, you
hear Piet Sielck on bass (formerly of IRON SAVIOR) and PERSUADER
guitarist and singer that sound lots like BG singer Hansi Kursch.
Production on
Dreamland Manor
is also amazing. Very punchy, and remind Gorilla of last big
thunderstorm to hit zoo. The songs that make Gorilla feet tap happiest
are "Evil Eyes" and "Between the devil and the seas".
