Just great! My first impression from Thunder
Calls was that I had been missing such a song since long. Why? Wizardslayer's
entry is a bit pompous
hard rock (it suggested Helloween to me -
I never liked them) and --- there is a original voice track. It has much
energy and agressiveness to transfer
on the listener. I accept singer's exalted
voice. The thunder sounds might fit into this baroque ambience; but for
me it is a bit too spelled out, if a song
has the word "thunder" in the name, that there
have to be at least ten thunder blasts in it. The music itself lets some
wishes open. The overall sound is
not well balanced: drums (the toms in particular)
are too loud compaired to the other instruments. The distortion guitar
in mods is a sensitive point in all
modules, but there have been better ones than
you can hear in Thunder Calls. Also, the symth sample is awefull and it
is overused IMO. For the music
I give 6. The refreshing voice track adds
3 points to my rating just by its existence.

YEAH,YEAH,..uhh, sorry the hangover of the
song. sorry. Back to the review. It's power metal and it's excellent. The
song has vocals too:-). The
song is well expressed and has excellent guitars
and sound fx. The distortion guitar is really good. It has complete vocals
and sounds like a real
power metal song. The thunder effect adds
power to the song. The guy's used some cool samples also. Reminds me of
songs like megadeth,
ozzy,etc. If you like metal, then donwload
it. HIghly recommended for metal heads. It's awesome. Wizardslayer has
some nice magic in this song.:-)

(#$/"!% heh It's a good song, with good drums..., the guitar crunch not
very variated, but The solo guitar make the difference...
Creativity: 7/10
Creativity Comment: The Idea to put voices
in a song Is hard to do, but it's well done, , but by this way, you can
allow you to work less the musical part
Artistic License: 7/10
Artistic License Comment: Something the solo
part of the guitar, seems to do random note (in the good range), but It
the only thing I see that it could be arrange
Arrangement: 8/10
Arrangement Comment: Good arrangement, doesn't
sound like a "tracked" sound, or a PC speaker, that some other tracker
makes
Sample Quality: 8/10
Sample Quality Comment: Good sample, something
you go out of range of your sample, but it's good sample, (sample the same
kind of cadaver)
