A.D. 4 – Mary’s Ghost (track review)
US Metal comes our way with a singer who glorifies the Speed Metal of the 1980s and a musical landscape that delivers to the listener a mix of old King Diamond and Annihilator influences. The audio production is fair and acceptable; there is no loudness war here or fuzzy old-school production, just a traditional metal mix. The drum and guitar breaks from 1:56 to 2:04 are placed in an interesting part of the song to reboot the track and lead the way for a soulful and meaningful guitar solo. If this track is part of a concept album, then it is definitely a perfect fit for the introduction of the storytelling due to its bombastic groove that initializes the process of a serious headbanging session.
