Another killer traditional metal demo from New York, Phoenix Reign
originated in Greece in 1998 by founding members Billy Chrissochos
and Chris Pollatos. They changed their name to Phoenix Reign
symbolizing the band rose from the ashes of a once thriving metal
scene.
The 4 track demo is raw and majestic recalling fellow New Yorkers
Twilight Odyssey, Vixen (Hawaii) and Kim LaChance's Malisha.
Lead vocalist Theresa Gaffney has an excellent voice for traditional
early 80's based metal. Lead track "Another Night Alone"
sounds like it came from one of the early Metal Massacre releases as
does the track "Power" (Billy's guitars have that Hawaii/Vixen sound
that Marty Friedman utilized at one time). "One More
Rendezvous" is a slightly laid-back song that highlights Theresa's
vocal strengths and slightly nods at one of her influences in Pat
Benatar. That said, the guitar solos are still heavy and
flashy within this song.
Considering the amazing obscure heavy metal releases that come out
of Greece, it is no surprise that Billy's guitar technique is
steeped in traditional metal, free of any modern American tuning
techniques or lack of riffs. Labels such as AFM, Adrenaline,
LMP, Century Media and Nuclear Blast should take notice of the
quality of material Phoenix Reign has been able to record on a small
budget.
