Band: Gang
Album Title: V
Label: Emanes Metal
Distributor : /
Release Date : 2010

After twenty years of highs and lows, V must be something of a comeback release from Gang, a French speed/ thrash band. While the opening track hits you at high speed, several songs also exercise the band's tendency for heavy mid-tempo riffing which is used for a good effect. The vocals sound a bit awkward at first with their heavy French accent, but you soon forget to worry about it. The band's original style is pretty close to H-Bomb, especially considering the melodic but fairly high-speed songs, and vocals that are extremely high-pitched in the Didier Izard (H-Bomb)-vein though not quite as powerfully.

Without any real faults the result is fairly consistent and enjoyable, and as long as you don't expect anything exceptional, Gang’s fifth release should do quite fine

80/100
