I.F.H AMMO Ver 2.0

I'm facing lots of damn html errors right now. To quicken up the pace, I introduced my reviews in point form.

IYAN'S FIVE HEADBANGER AMMOS

No. 5 - Cradle Of Filth - From Cradle To Enslave
Genre: Extreme Gothic Metal

+ eerie keyboard intro, COF as always
+ followed by a heavy bassline
+ start headbanging and moshing at 0:52 minutes!
+ martian style keyboards at the background
+ awesome riffs with quick bends, 1:32 minutes
+ some unexpected eerie parts when music pauses(but the keyboards); a lady sings
+ wicked harsh vocal harmony when Dani sings "What sing activities will be freed when those lights burn black..."

- repetitive pre-outro "This is the end of everything... This is the end of everything... This is..." when is this gonna end?!

Headbanger's meter: Extreme

No. 4 - Arch Enemy - Nemesis
Genre: Melodic Death

+ What an intro guitar riff! Like an alarm to call for war
+ Angela Gossow just kicked my arse
+ Strong theme of unity: "We are strong... We are one!"
+ Damn beautiful lick riff played on chorus and the slow interlude
+ Some interesting bassline ascends before the interlude
+ Nostalgic slow interlude
+ Hail Angela & Gothenburg!!

Headbanger's meter: Moderate to Very High

No. 3 - AFI - The Boy Who Destroyed The World
Genre: Hardcore Punk


+ Nice soundtrack from THPS 2
+ This is not punk-pop
+ Amazing punkish-bass playing
+ Good octave power chords
+ Love the part sang "They said it heard their eyes but he would never know.."

- Change of direction at 1:50 minutes, after that can't understand what the heck he sang
- Too many picksliding

Headbanger's meter: High

No.2 - Iron Maiden - The Nomad
Genre: NWOBHM (if you're a metalhead who don't know what it means, YOU POSER!)

+ Epic one from Maiden, quite symphonic
+ Deserve to be in one of their compilation albums
+ Egyptian riffs!!
+ Nice drumbeat
+ Bruce vocals at his best
+ Egyptian guitar solo at 3:33 minutes!
+ A beautiful interlude.. A masterpiece!!

Headbanger's meter: High

No.1 Most Listened - Orphaned Land - Norra El Norra (Entering The Ark)
Genre: Middle-Eastern Folk Metal


+ Just as I thought Ocean Land was awesome...
+ Elegant acoustic guitar intro
+ Powerful electric guitar entrance
+ epic Middle-East tunes!
+ a very hard rock feel at 1:27 minutes
+ piano solo outro!
+ translation of lyrics here

Headbanger's meter: Moderate to High

I.F.M. Ammo Ver 1.o
