Description
US tape. Clear cassette with grey texture Widowmaker is the band of Dee Snider who also happens to be the frontman of Twisted Sister, but make no mistake, this album is not a continuation of where TS left off. Widowmaker marks a new era for Dee. With an all star line-up of players to support Mr. Snider, the technical aspect of this album is amazing especially Al Pitrelli's guitar work which is pretty much that of a freestyle almost like an Eddie Van Halen approach from time to time. This is not a Thrash metal album by any means, luckily its not a Glam album either. This is simply straight up pure and true Heavy Metal. The production is exceptionally well done, each and every instrument is tweaked to perfection in the mix, and Dee's voice is as strong as ever. As for the songs themselves, they range from slow to mid-paced to balls out metal. The melodies that Dee Snider comes up with as far as vocal arrangements go, are truly amazing. Then again with such a gifted voice like he has, one can only assume that the man can do no wrong. 2001 re-issue Track listing: 1. Killing Time 2. Long Gone 3. Protect And Serve 4. Ready To Fall 5.
