Finland's AFTERWORLD will wane through life as HELLOWEEN without the talent. Mixing Power Metal with a Hard Rock-edge that has been played much better by other bands before them. Songs are very boring, containing recycled riffs, a vocalist with a limited range, and they shoot out of your speakers way too fast for their own good. Almost nothing riveting enough to make you want to play it a second time. This band comprises one half party time Metal, one part he-man Metal with lyrics that are meant to be dead serious. No reason to buy this CD, unless you're friends with the band. Second one after a debut that was a little better.
