There is a reason why Peter Sheithauer has named his band Killing Machine. Although slightly updated, it is Judas Priest down to every riff and scream. Especially the theme track are as taken directly from Painkiller. James Rivera sounds quite like Rob Halford in the lower tones, but in the higher tones he sounds extremely strained. Loup Garou rather reminds of something from Screaming For Vengeance. The chorus is repetitive over the edge of annoying. Redemption From Genocide is another rip off, from let's say… Sad Wings Of Destiny, but a quite nice song though.

Besides from the sudden urge to listen to the original Judas Priest, Metalmorphosis actually does not give you anything special. The sound is honourable, but the songs are simply not that good. Worth to note is that David Ellefson, the legendary Megadeth bass player, is a member of the band. Here he reunites with another former Mustaine slave, drummer Jimmy DeGrasso.
