Tarantula - Metalmorphosis
Very nice cover art! Indeed. A beautiful bionic chick standing in flames. A bit skinny perhaps It really rises your expectations for some nice, hard powermetal in the same vein as Metalium. But out of the CD-player comes just some yawning melodic hard rock. At first I was absolutely sure that this must be another new Finnish band. But apparently I am not always right. Tarantula is a Portuguese band who started already in the 80s. But the singer Jorge Marques must have gone to a Finnish English-pronunciation-pedagogue anyway. Otherwise he just have one of these power- and character-less voices that doesn't add anything really to the already lame hard rock sound. The production is 100% clean, which does not help to make
this any more interesting. None of the songs are really awful, but actually
I can't really find a favourite either. Some choruses are annoyingly
sticky, but not in a positive way. You become tired of them already
one the second turn. It's not bad, just
without balls
and
really boring - to the limit of no-reason-to-exist. To sum up, I can't
find any reason why you should buy this. It will all do as background
music at best.
