Been two years since the Teutonic-minded Greeks released a highly enjoyable debut. While their musical geography hasn't changed, the intensity of the delivery has multiplied, adding a thrashy consistency to the old Accept (circa Restless & Wild) template. Cranking and dive bombing guitar runs scream from the speakers, on the introductory "Total Evil" (which follows a 93 second "Blood" sound effect).
Guess they wanted to show off the upgraded (and totally new) guitar tandem, right away! The title track follows, another hot blast of hyper riffs. Subtlety, thy name is not White Tower...everything about the presentation (including the occasional high pitched yelp: see "Knife In The Back") is OTT.
Somehow, the aggressive, no-holds-barred, borderline thrash construct recalls the early mentality of the ‘80s underground and sub-genre defying speed metal of Savage Grace, in particular. "Banshee" possesses more melody than its sequential neighbors and despite the title, never unleashes its namesake vocal inflection.
