07/07/07 (2007) METALLIC ARCHANGEL (Demo)
|
Line-up: Ski - Vocals |
It didn't take long before the buzz on this band reached the farthest corners of the metal world. With the legendary Ski (ex-Deadly Blessing) turning to Christ and forming a Christian power metal band, people were very anxious to hear the result. This demo EP is the first public sign of life. Originally slated to be released the 7th of July, 2007 (thus the title, and the obvious reference to 777), the 3 track demo delivers some crushing heavy metal indeed! Faith Factor belongs in the galloping metal genre, but with a noticeable difference. Whereas bands in this category usually are of the dungeons & dragons sort, Faith Factor are out to convince you with a bold Christian stance. But luckily they also convince you musically. So even though we only get 3 tracks on this demo, they are of enough variety and span to leave you satisfied. The first track is a power metal monster, with a chunking riff, and Ski's soaring vocals. The lyrics sums up the bands agenda, as Christian metal warriors. "The Angel And The Butterfly" is a ballad, with a nice piano intro and a great melodic melody. But expect no sappy radio friendly stuff, as the song grows into another powerful metal romp as it goes. The final track, entitled "Deceiver", is yet another galloping heavy metal attack. Carried by Ski's wailing, this song sports an epic flavor that suits this band. Then suddenly the demo is over, and you are left hungry for more. I find '07/07/07' to be one of the better demos in a long time, and I can't wait to hear more from this magnificent band.
