Review Flash

If you are a regular reader of print magazines like me you know MYSTIC PROPHECY and their well-known vocalist Roberto Dimitri Liapakis (14 vocal credits according to discogs) that guy is really known all over the place, credited as singer for CHINCHILLA, WINTER’S VERGE, DEVIL’S TRAIN, CRYSTAL TEARS, STEEL PROPHET and, of course, MYSTIC PROPHECY. For every Heavy Metal padawan or the nice head-banger of the neighbourhood not knowing about this band and its artists I will happily provide a little backstory. It was 19 years ago that R.D Liapakis and Martin Albrecht formed MYSTIC PROPHECY with Gus G (FIREWIND, OZZY OSBOURNE, KAMELOT etc.). Gus G left in 2005 to spend more time with his own band FIREWIND. The line-up saw many changes throughout the years but the bands US Metal inspired heavy style remained a constant, ‘Metal Division’ is their 11th output in 18 years. R.D’s voice is rather raw but he can hit high notes too (I like it). Every involved musician is a professional and the overall style is rather tough but always melodic. The only thing I can really criticize is that the arrangements, good or not, are just not that compelling and catchy.

Conclusion: A solid metal output for every fan of mentioned bands, check it out

Rating: 8 / 10
