"4.5 stars. There are too many great moments on this CD not to bump it up closer to 5 stars. The production is first rate and explosive, the musicianship is stellar and frequently breathtaking, and the overall ambtion of this recording is outstanding! There are a handful of moments over the course of the album which could use a little more streamlining, but the energetic performances and superb sound quality make up for quite a lot. I mentioned to a co-worker recently that if I saw Zandelle live and they played this album in total as a set each and every member would be dripping with persperation by the end. This album is loaded with speedy guitar shredding and solos that split fingertips to ribbons. Making these faster sections stand out even more are the fluid shifts in tempo that most Metal bands, regardless of genre, can only dream of executing. The riffs are tremendously catchy on top of being masterfully played, and the driving rhythm section pushes each song to the limits of endurance. They have a decent lead singer, as well. While not amazing throughout, his performance is frequently inspired as he pushes his own talent to match that of the musicians and more often than not succeeds admirably. But it is the astounding musicianship that is clearly and prominantly on display here. All guitar freaks take notice! Highly, highly recommended!!!"

True Heavy Metal Lives-Vengence Rising!!!!

"Vengence Rising is in True Heavy Metal form.



The lead guitarist(Anthony Maglio)shreds, with killer harmonies and amazing virtuosity. The vocals are pure with heart. The vocalist

(George Tsalikis) voice is in top form with a lower register than the previous album, however you can expect the searing high notes and occassional metal screams. The Bass and Drums are tight, pure adrenaline from start to finish!!! Sonically, this album sounds amazing. Pump this album on your speakers or headphones and you will hear a great mix, and all the dynamics and frquencies of all the vocals and instruments.



In summary...This album Rocks!!!!"

They Should Play Necromancer Live!!!
