Description
Vicious Rumors - Digital Dictator
Legendary US Metal masterpiece finally available again on deluxe180 grams vinyl after more than 35 years!
With their sound and style completely defined on their previous and nearly perfect album, "Soldiers of the Night", Vicious Rumors continue on with yet another outstanding sequel that could go hand in hand with their debut. This is pretty much US Power Metal with actual riffs, and some technical and mindblowing riffs at that with Geoff Thorpe's tremendous skill and incredible songwriting.
The standout here is hands down vocalist Carl Albert (Rest in peace). Nothing but energy sparks from his every lyric spoken. His aggressive and energetic mid-range performance
can easily be matched to Bruce Dickinson. Vicious Rumors were truly out of this world when Carl was with them, this being the flawless beginning of that legacy.
Its nearly impossible to pinpoint Vicious Rumors exact sound and style and just throw them in one genre, because you really can not. There are a few Speed Metal songs here, a few more Power Metal orientated ones, few hints of progessive structures, and even some Thrashy parts from time to time. Standout tracks would be the self title track, "Minute to Kill", "R.L.H (Run Like Hell)", and "Towns of Fire". Then again, this whole album is just great with no real low points at all.
In the end, this is an essential Vicious Rumors album, and often hailed as their finest release!
