Taking Heavy Metal into new extremes Halford shows up with his 2002 album 'Crucible' the successor to the major successful Resurrection. With elements of nu-metal, a nightmare of distorted sounds, furious drumming parts and from time to time antihormonic singing or his famous high-pitched screams, Halford takes us right before the gates of hell and beyond. This album is very far away from what we heard on 'Resurrection', yet you can hear some muscial type of allusions to Pantera maybe Slayer and Korn, or maybe nothing of those and let's say it's just another inventive or innovative type of heavy metal. Is it still heavy metal, or may it already be something else? Read more ›› |

Let me throw down the facts on the table at the very beginning of this review. This album is mainly bullshit. It has some great moments, which are really great actually, but 70% of it is crap. Anyway, despite having already said the most essential I'll dig a bit more into the details. At its core this is mainly a Heavy Metal album, yet?it's kind of strange and quite hard to describe. I think you'll have to listen for yourself if you want to know for sure. Here's my try at explaining what this album is exactly. Next to Heavy Metal which this album mainly is, there are also some traces of more "modern" genres. I might even go so far as to say it sometimes has a Melodic Death Metal sound to it. I mean, seriously, try listening to "Hearts Of Darkness" and telling me that the beginning doesn't sound almost exactly like Amon Amarth! Furthermore, there are a few minor metalcorish elements, some Thrash Metal and maybe even some tiny traces of grunge. You decide if this is something good or bad, for me personally, it isn't.

Something is wrong even Rob is metalgod, this is good metal album but I have a feeling something was missing.

I was a bit letdown when I bought it 15 years or so ago but after repeated listens I absolutely love this album and think it's a more diverse and exiting record than Resurrection. While often mean and aggressive it also offers some great melodic and emotional moments. It's one of those albums that offer a distinct mood and tone all the way through. This is the first time I listened to the remixed and remastered version available on spotify. I prefer the tracklist order and mixing on the original version, it's not mastered to death and the flow of the album is better. I however appreciate the added lead guitar licks and there's also some nice synth added at places.
