"Strength, Power, Will, Passion" or the great awaited return of the German Thrash combo Holy Moses. For the ones who don't know it yet, this band plays Thrash Metal since 1982 and their singer is a charismatic female singer, Sabine Classen. Yes Arch Enemy is not the precursor, believe me that Sabine was for sure here in first to sing with her Death/Thrash Metal voice.

"Strength, Power, Will, Passion" is a good album of Thrash Metal. Actually maybe that some of the riffs sound a bit "Gothenburg Death" like the last Kreator but that's Thrash above all for sure, and it's really melodic. However you can trust me we have a lot of classic Thrash riffs and this album is interesting. Oki maybe that it's not the best Thrash album ever but that's a good release with some catchy songs and I must say it, the performance of the musicians is really good. Sabine is not bad at all even if I must confess that I'm not a real fan of her vocals (we can find better in my opinion) but this is ok at least and that's not a problem to listen to this album.

The production of the album is also really good, but however I cannot say that we have a perfect clean sound at the opposite it really sounds "old school" but with the quality of the recordings that we can find these days. That's a good idea actually and it's one other good point for this album.

"Strength, Power, Will, Passion" is a good album of Thrash Metal, especially if you like the music of Holy Moses. In comparison of the last Exodus or Death Angel that's not a real surprise but that's more than correct and every Thrash Metal fans will find for sure a super song in the album. I suppose that you know what you'll have to do now?
