DEVIL'S TRAIN / DEVIL'S TRAIN (2012)

This album rocks big time!! Devil's Train is a newcomer that with albums like this debut one will rock our world for a long long time! The mastermind behind Devil's Train is the well known RD Liapakis of Mystic Prophecy. The band also consists of Laki Ragazas on guitars, Jari Kainulainen (ex-Stratovarius) on bass and  Jorg Michael on drums.



This album features some really ass kickin' heavy rock stuff with screaming guitars, a tight and 'fat' sound and  Liapakis passionate performances. The strongest thing here is the guitar work of Laki Ragazas. This guy delivers some really amazing riffs and solos that make this album a must have for every guitar maniac out there. The rhythm section is tight as hell and there's not a filler in sight! Every single track rocks in its own way and after the very first listening leaves you hungry for more!! The opening track "Fire And Water" puts you in the album's spirit immidiately with its heavy in-your-face sound and its catchy chorus line. "Devil's Train" has a nice groove while "Forever" it's a great mid-tempo/bluesy tune in the vain of Whitesnake's earlier works. "Sweet Devil's Kiss" makes you wanna shake and tumble and "Yellow Blaze" is one of the album's highlights. The cover tune of "American Woman" is pretty cool!!

Overall this is a great debut album all the way! It's up-tempo, it has attitude, cool songs and a guitar sound to die for!! Highly recommended!
