After 40:13 min, i was a complety amazed, unlike SMS, this album is easier to digest, the shreding madness of the last album seems to have fade away a bit, but it was replace with amazing guitar lines that creat a whole new magic atmosphere, not only the guitars but the whole band (drums, etc etc), i felt that this album was away better worked and produced than the last one, a shame that it was the last one.

'''Guitar''' - Marty Friedman and Jason Becker, do i need to say anything else?!!. Well ok, some of the fans might get sad from the lack of shred that you can you find on the last one, but it was replace it awesome melodic solos! (images), beside that the rhythm guitar on this album is amazing and very solid, you can feel a strong thrash feeling on songs like E.S.P and Sword of the Warrior.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much of this album. I had read countless times that "go off!" couldn't even scratch Speed Metal Symphony (SMS), but since our GMC Coordinator & Instructor Zsolt requested a review on this album I decided to give a try.
After 40:13 min, I was a complety amazed, unlike SMS, this album it is easier to digest, the shreding madness of the last album seems to have faded away a bit, but it was replaced with amazing guitar lines that create a whole new magic atmosphere, not only the guitars but the whole band (drums, etc etc).

I felt an improvement on the voice on this album, and don't ask me why, but in some parts it quite reminds me of Helloween. As for the Lyrics, well I'm not of a big fan of the lyrics on this band, but I think they are good enough to fit in, the only thing I really dislike was the repetition of some words.


Black Cat


Sleek and shiny, dark and fast
Never let it cross your path
The panic begins, its a battle you'll never win
She'll bait the trap, don't mess with the Black Cat


Superstition isn't true
Could it be maybe I love you?
The panic begins, its a battle you'll never win
She'll bait the trap, don't mess with the Black Cat


Don't mess with the Black Cat
If you believe in superstition
Don't turn your back
Never mess with a black cat


Blazin' eyes, stalk the night
Cold and hungry in the dark
The panic begins, its a battle you'll never win
she'll bait the trap, don't mess with the black cat


Don't mess with the Black Cat
If you believe in superstition
Don't turn your back
Never mess with a black cat


Don't mess with the black cat
If you believe in superstition
Don't turn your back
Never mess with a black cat


Sword of The Warrior


Ticking, ticking, ticking,
My final impression
I'm too late, warrior lost in time
Destruction will surely be hell
It's plain, yeah I see it in the stars


Ticking a force unrelenting
The stage was set
God give you life never ending
I will forget
We won't forget
The sword of the warrior
Sung with steel
We won't forget
The sword of the warrior
Sung with steel


Tripping malorder and pain
Battle cry lost in a modern world
Madness will soon be displayed
Sword of steel it's the test of time


Ticking a force unrelenting
The stage was set
God give you life never ending
I will forget
We won't forget
The sword of the warrior
Sung with steel
We won't forget
The sword of the warrior
Sung with steel

8,3


Like I said before, I think this album was way better produced than SMS, it focuses less in the two twin guitar and more in the band. I still don't like the voice, but I feel and improvement in the vocals and there are some I really enjoyed.
