19052014 - Attack "Destinies of War"

German heavy metal from 1989. You know before you push play whether you will like this or not. It's powerful and melodic, but not power metal. They have strong choruses, but it's not post-Helloween happy metal. However, it's also a lot softer than the suspected Manowar leanings you could be led to expect by looking at the cover. All the songs here are instantly hummable, but this is still more than just run of the mill melodic metal. Inventive? No. Efficient? Yes! A classic? Perhaps. Enjoyable? Definitely!
