Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Great metal music, but quite underrated.

Nosferatu completely blows my mind; there is no thrash metal like what Helstar has accomplished. When I bought the album, I listened to once and I liked it, then listened to again and liked it even more.
This album has a lot to offer: great vocals, good high tempo music, and creative lyrics. The vocals sound almost as if they would be good in a power metal band.
Some of the songs on Nosferatu are really catchy, but really great, such as Baptized in Blood and Swirling Madness. Also, out of the 11 tracks there are two good instrumentals: Perseverance and Desperation and Von Am Lebem Desto Sturm.
This band does not get the credit it deserves. I recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of 80's metal (or even if you're not because Helstar is quite different). |

| Uff!!! Incredible stuff here people!!! Hands down, this is without a doubt one of the best thrash albums ever made, even better than their first album. This is tecnical thrash at it's finest. The riffs here are way beyond and no talk about the solos, very underrated!! |

What an incredible album!!! I think Helstar is on top game here. James Rivera delivers a plenty of good hooks here, no talk about Larry Barragan and Andre Corbin, very underrated guitar duo, with plenty of classical guitar melodies with technical riffs and solos. This album and specially this band, should not be forgotten to any thrasher aficionado!!!Recommended if you like Heretic, Reverend and Metal Church.

| I must turn to those stupid descriptions I always use: Helstar sounds like 80s thrash combined with early Queensryche (like, EP-ish early), Death, and...Symphony X! at least in the guitar department. The guitars are replete with 'neoclassical' flourishes and fancy riffcraft that evoke the second and third bands, and the vocal style of 'Ryche. Songs are very meaty, chuggy, and driving! Progressive features are omnipresent -- with all its rhythmic twists and sophisticated melodic contour, you can see that Helstar is an unacknowledged champion of proto-prog-metal. the production is a little dated, and the drums sound pretty bad, but this is killer. Hunt it down! |
