Powerworld / Human Parasite (2010)

I have waited more than I've expected, to get this new POWERWORLD opus. Thanks to Barish Kepic, I've got a lot of information about Human Parasite. Called Human Parasite at first, later called Tame Your Demons (with Steffen Brunner and Jurgen Lucas leaving) and, finally, called again Human Parasite, this album has been "THE album I've to get for this year" ! For new comers, we've now Andrew McDermott as singer (best known for his THRESHOLD work), Achim Keller (VICTORY) as drummer. For this last one, he's not the man who have recorded the drums studio part.

Human Parasite, as Barish Kepic has mentionned, doesn't sound really Melogressive Metal but more Heavy Melodic Metal. Ilker and him have done a great work together. Stand Up, East Comes To West or Caught In Your Web for example are really fantastic. However, I've found that Steffen Brunner was better than Andrew McDermott as a singer and Self-titled was better than Human Parasite. I think I've hoped more than I expected and may be it's this last point which makes me feel disappointed .

A good second effort, far away from the first one ! I'm a little bit disappointed but I wish the best to the band and especially to Ilker Ersin (it's his baby project ! Don't forget it !).
