The Reign of Terror
Sacred Ground (Limb)
by Martin Popoff
As good as a Yngwie album, but at the same time, not as good as any of them because it’s a late copycat. Two dominant figures run up and down the scales here, namely Leviathan Records shred king Joe Stump – yes, a blazing Yngwie clone – and metal journeyman Michael Vescera (Obsession, Loudness, Killing Machine, Yngwie, Roland Grapow). The end result is high energy, high quality power metal, perhaps more anthemic than Yngwie, more of a grind, and dripping in Gothic Dio vocal melodies.
