FOREVER SLAVE - ALICE'S INFERNO (2005)RATING : ***** (out of 10*)
A good Gothic Metal band out of Spain that no one's ever heard of. With "Lady Angellyca" doing the vocals and "Servalath" on guitar. The symphonic arrangements (think Nightwish and Within Temptation) are quite good and the guitar licks are superb. Plus it's a concept album.
So why only five stars? Well, the lyrics are half in English, half in Spanish. Which doesn't matter much, since Ms. Angellyca sounds like she's got a mouthful of mashed potatoes throughout the album. Honestly, you'll understand more of the male " beast grunting" lyrics (which irritatingly goes on through the whole album) than the female "beauty vocals".
And while Servalath occasionally cuts loose with some magnificent guitar-work, it just doesn't happen often enough. For the most part, this is just your standard metal thrash stuff.
Overall then. the positives are equal to the negatives. So go to www.lyricsmania.com , copy down the lyrics, then sit back and enjoy this CD.
