The debut album from this band from Spain.
This band was a one-man-band with Kyle McNeill doing all instruments.
Kyle, who originally comes from Manchester in Great Britain, was the guitarist and vocalist in his previous band Seven Sisters. He also does the guitars and vocals here plus the bass and some drums programming.
Phantom Spell has just released the second album and a review of that album will follow within days.
The music on this half an hour long album is a blend of hard rock and heavy metal somewhere between Wishbone Ash, Europe, Kansas and Iron Maiden.
The music is rather catchy with some good vocals on the top of it. It also follows the heavy metal formula and does not really venture outside this genre. That includes some football terrace chants too.
The music is far softer than the cover art-work alludes to. There is also some nice details here and a couple of good songs.
I am not entirely won over by this album. Nevertheless, this is a pretty good album.
2.5 points
