This is the debut album from Hazy Hamlet, a Metal band originating from Brazil.

To sum it up, this is not Heavy Metal Brazilian style like Angra. It's more pure Power Metal like Manowar, Sabaton, even Grave Digger and others. But while Manowar e.g. manages to build some variation in their songs, with Hazy Hamlet they all sound alike. Now for an independently released album it's not bad, but sadly it's not really my cup of tea. After a few songs, although Arthur Migotto is not a bad singer, I'm getting bored. Always the same rough voice...

It must be said that they must be very talented musicians, cause all songs are played on a very high level, but to repeat myself once again, they lack variation.

55/100
