GAME OVER

Game Over is one of these bands that always go further than their name! They surprise you already from the first track 'Masters of Control': retro metal with backings and lead vocals on fire! It reminds me a bit of the young version of Metallica ('Masters of Puppets'). 'Seven doors to Hell' sound a bit like cross over between speed metal and Punk. Let's say this one is really on fire with nice backings! 'The eyes (of the mad Gardner): more speed and more adrenaline with great guitars and great screaming like only the best can! It has a great lead guitar! More speeded up energy shots with 'C.H.U.C.K.'! I'm wandering for what these letters stand? Anyway: I absolutely adore the punk sound and the energy of the backings!

'No More' is even more fired up and in my fantasy I hear some Iron Maiden in it ('Be Quick or Be Dead'). It has a great lead guitar! 'Metropolis' starts with a nice bass, followed by energetic and very short screaming and play and that's it? Around 30 seconds of fun? It felt like it could last longer! 'Trapped Inside Your Mind' starts a bit slower and takes a bit of time before exploding.

Once again the backings hit me with their power! 'Nuke 'm High' has a high sing a long potential, despite the lyrics! I can almost feel the whip of the gang leader, trying to get everybody in the line, ordering them to give it all! 'Burst into the Quiet' has a nice retro 70's sound, firing up the game for the last time! The title is very well chosen as last track: one last outburst and then a painful silence that asks for the repeat function!

As good as PRONG and I really loved them!

Both Thumbs up!
