Killing Machine
(Candlelight)
by Martin Popoff
It’s usually a cool thing when grizzled veterans of the metal wars collide and try their hand at the power metal they themselves had a hand in creating back in the ’80s. Killing Machine is one such assemblage (of convenience?), featuring Mike Duda and Stet Howland from WASP, German gad-about-town Peter Scheithauer (Belladonna, Stream) in the all-important guitar slot (which is why this sounds like Primal Fear), and even more pertinently, Mike Vescera of Obsession, Loudness and Yngwie semi-fame in the twangy/tangy vocal slot.
