SENJUTSU

IRON MAIDEN could get into melodic prog metal somewhere, for some of its tracks with a progressive bass; IRON MAIDEN offers for their latest album the radical solution, 2 CD's to silence the world of metal and the world of prog; a melodic prog metal album ahead of its time, well in its tradition with breaks to highlight the different guitarists and Steve's omnipresent bass; him big fan in front of the eternal GENESOS for example. Well this album I wouldn't talk about it more, good but not in the prog spirit as we dream it. Listen to it anyway because there are pearls with prog reminiscences in it and 3 tracks of more than 7 minutes is not trivial.

IRON MAIDEN has therefore released a 2nd CD with 4 titles and there we almost arrive at progressive musical perfection: intros, atmospheres, soaring, ethnic, folkloric sound, typical sounds and a profusion of progressive notes on each of the titles. If IRON MAIDEN did not exist and released this album alone, I would have given it a 5 on the spot for general creation and musical freshness. 'Death of the Celts' and 'The Parchment' are my favorites for this musical debauchery that brings them into the prog era? I don't know that, but I confess that the second side has been running quite regularly on my turntable lately. Well, you will have included 2 albums for the price of one with a pearl on one of them, that's also IRON MAIDEN.
