Still sealed digipak

Steve Grimmett doesn’t seem to enjoy much free time, always popping up with another project every now and then. The Grim Reaper/Lionsheart man is still at it, here he has teamed up with the impressive American guitarist Steve Stine, hence the band name. It’s no surprise at all that this album has an old school feel to it, as Grimmett has never tried to reinvent the wheel. What he does do is deliver his usual collection of melodic heavy metal, characterised by his often flawless vocals. There’s plenty of full tilt head banging stuff, combined with some more laid back fare, such as the ballad This Don’t Look Like Love To Me, something of a departure for Steve, but a successful one, aided by Stine’s Malmsteen-a-like solo. To close the album they even go acoustic with a sweet song called To Sing A Lullabye, which again showcases the fact that Grimmet isn’t just a metal shouter. Who knows how long the partnership will last, but Grimmet and Stine have teamed up to make a very good album of classic style melodic metal. Stine’s guitar work is of the highest calibre, with some mad, fiddly stuff in evidence alongside the neat riffs and fills.
