Forte - Division
Forte's debut is a powerhouse mixture of power metal and thrash. The production, however holds it back a bit. The mix isn't bad, it's just a bit thin, especially in the guitars which sound like it might have just been one single mike thrown in front of the guitarist's amp. Still, the song writing, playing, and especially the vocals make up for anything lacking in the production department.Division Forte-Division (Massacre)1. "Dischord" (3:42)2. "One Flesh" (3:47)3.

What is it with great power metal and speed metal bands from the US that they can't seem to get a deal in their own country, but they sell great in countries like Germany and Japan? The first eight tracks of this album are power metal anthems, track #9, "E.2.M.N.," is a bass solo, "In This Life" a piano and acoustic guitar ballad, and the last song is a killer version of Accept's "Fast as a Shark." Overall, this bands rips out some speedy metal with decent hooks and clean Judas Priest-like vocals. Too bad this type of music is so uncool in the "here today, gone tomorrow" music scene. If these guys had been around a decade earlier they would have been legends.Desructive Forte-Destructive (Massacre)

Stranger Than Fiction and Division are Forte's best works. The fucking rule!

Yes, that's a great album of a really great band, but Forté's debut is "Stranger than fiction" (1992), which is - in my opinion - even better! |
