9/10 review of ‘Pillars of Creation’

Dendera Pillars of Creation (600)

“The overall structure and development of catchy yet thick and grooving crushers like “Disillusioned” and “Bloodlust” definitely have a fair bit of Iron Maiden melodic guitar and vocal hooks and an upbeat, Judas Priest brand of speed metal influence to them, but are painted over with a dark gloss that puts them a bit closer to the more recent outings of each band’s respective front man’s solo outings, particularly Dickinson’sThe Chemical Wedding and Halford’s Resurrection.”

“…the greatest thing of all about an album such as this fine one is the dual approach of providing a catchy, recurring set of hooks while still keeping things nuanced and fresh.”

9/10
