Aloysius

Been going through my CDs lately and gave this another listen. An interesting band - mostly active in the 80s, this is from '93 but they still very much feel like an 80s band to me - rather than follow any of the emerging sub-genres of the time they slowed down a bit and refined what they did. The production is great, everything is super clear in the mix. There's some great stuff here, unfortunately there are flaws that prevent it from being a truly classic metal album imo - namely the vocals don't really do much and the second half of the album doesn't really measure up to the quality of the first. However if you haven't heard this definitely give the first few tracks a spin.
