hehe... you need to read his review more carefully. He's not saying the band sounds like Iced Earth or Judas Priest.
His comparisons are RIGHT on the mark. He does say the band sounds comes through as a "as a slower, more methodical Nevermore at times, with strains of 'Mirror Black'-era Santuary being prominent as well" and with that i 100% agree with, especially the Sanctuary part.
He mentions that "has a stutter riff straight from the depths of the almighty Priest", so it's actually just the riff he's talking about. Same with Iced Earth, where he's just hinting at a certain element in the song...
Oh, I disagree completely. I know he's not straight out saying they're like those bands, but even mild comparisons are way off the mark. Anyone listening to this CD is not going to hear anything resembling Sanctuary or Nevermore from any album. No way.
