Here is the album « The Dark Crusade » from the French heavy metal group Mystria. The style of the group is a classic heavy metal which takes its sources in the 80s. I find the cover rather nice but I find the album relatively tiring along the listenings … Not that the tracks are bad but I don’t find them varied and they are lacking of some originality. Of course the guitars are heavy and the soli rather well done but the tracks seem to lack of some « punch », this is maybe because of the production that I do not find too good neither much powerful … The vocals are sometimes aggressive, sometimes lyrical and rather well at place. It is an album with which I’m not catch now as it is question of taste, you will maybe like it.

Guillaume Codina (chant) (vocals)
Stephan Biron (guitare) (guitars)
