There have been quite a few unanticipated comeback albums in metal in the last few years. From Possessed to Conception and from Psychotic Waltz to Cirith Ungol, bands that dissolved decades ago have resurfaced, and, luckily, most of them have returned with a bang. Enter Heavy Load. Read more ›› |

This is one of best come back albums, specially for guys who's close to 70. Good old school song writing, music, its not like one way, different approach for it. Amazing , can not wait when Nik or Andy revievs it Now question is if Midas Touch will make come back album?

Well the prod is a bit off, but it's still enjoyable. I'm amazed by the voice of the singer, and the atmosphere that the synths create. It really is Heavy Load, just like the past albums. The songs are good, especially the first that is truely uplifting. The second half attempts to be slower and more epic, and maybe it gets a bit boring from there. Overall it's nice.

A very pleasant surprise, I agree it's a great come back, I will revisit their old albums.

Most of the songs here are melodic mid-tempo Hard Rock or slow Metal epics and the last track is a classical guitar piece. The production is a bit soft and without highly energetic tracks the album gets a little boring, but still solid work nonetheless. Not exactly super exiting, but worth listening to at least once.
---- Glory to the Nation!
