HI-GH- Till Death And After [Metal On Metal Records; 2014]


These four italians describe their music as a mix of speed metal and classic punk. And this sentence it’s a perfect conclusion of what “Till Death And After” gives us. Energetic, punky and classic as hell speed metal. Does any oldschool metal maniac needs any more recomendation to listen to this CD?
What’s the most important here is energy, energy and once more energy. It’s impossible to stay calm, while listening to Hi-GH, the power that blasts from the speakers quickly takes control over the listener. Great melodic solos goes along with fast riffs. Punk simplicity meets heavy metal precision and melody and gives us an outstanding result. What’s more important- everything is mixed and mastered really well, so every instrument have it’s own, significant part in creating that great album. Add sence of humour, good vocals, and ta-dam! Here you got Hi-GH.  Another big advantage here- Romans have their own style, based on a classic inspirations. No copies here, only great own compositions. Check out songs like “Drug Your Destiny”, you’ll witness what I mean by yourself. Actually, when whole album shows a really good level, this composition goes much further, it’s like band put 150% of their work to that one. Main part, chorus, solo- every piece of that song has stuck in my head for days.
So let’s make a conclusion of that review really short, as I’m listening to Hi-GH right now, and I feel more like banging my head, than writing an article ;) Go and listen to this album IMMEDIATELY.
