 Leather, Motorcycles and Metal Studs Live On
Submitted on: 2008-06-05 |

Century Media is a record company known for their metal/death metal bands and Dream Evil is exactly that, Heavy Metal. Vocalist Niklas Isfeldt knows how to belt it out, giving you his all. The album is jam packed with the perfect party music for any heavy metal fan. It's fun with it's anthems and sing-a-long ballads that you can drink beer and listen to with your friends.
The album opens with "The Book of Heavy Metal", which has a great sense of humor and lays the tracks down as to what's to come. Then there is the song just titled M.O.M. where singer Niklas Isfeldt states 'Are You a Man or a Mouse?'. Hence the M.O.M., Man or Mouse. It has lyrics that are definitely typical for heavy metal albums, with it's cliches. "Unbreakable Chain" is a typical 80's metal power ballad and "The Sledge" reminds you of the great Scorpions and Judas Priest. Leather, motorcycles and metal studs live on!!! |

Finally, a new metal band with the classic metal sound.

| Metal hasn't been this good in a long time, at least not when it comes to new metal bands. Sure classic metalists like Iron Maiden and Rob Halford are still putting out great material, but I am delighted to have discovered Dream Evil's Dragon Slayer and The Book of Heavy Metal albums. Unlike so many of the new bands that either can't hold a melody while they scream or actually play lead guitar solos, Dream Evil delivers! As far as cheesy lyrics go...well, God is still calling to those who "dream evil." |

The Book on Dream Evil
Submitted on: 2007-07-12 |

| Dream Evil are straight forward Heavy Metal like you grew up with. I can tell these guys spent hours listening to Judas Priest, Malice, Accept,and Iron Maiden. Their songs are laden with solid chugging rhythms and fast concise leads. They speed it up at times and the singer can get to those high pitched Halfordesque screams. They aren't doing anything you've never heard before but in my opinion anyone who has a resemblence to the classic metal bands is going to help fill my shelves. Other bands to check out for solid METAL are: Tad Morose, Brainstorm, Primal Fear, and Hammerfall. P.S. My CD has a bonus DVD that's just the band in a studio screwing around and talking German, useless to me. |

 METAL!!

I am a metal fan. This cd is all about metal, and making metal hence
(Book of Heavy Metal, SLedge of Rock, Let's Make Rock etc.) The band has a fantastic singer, Snowy Shaw, although not phenomenal, is good at what he does which is laying down metal beats, and Gus G. is a really really good guitarist. The only thing that brings these fellas down is the lyrics. However Ronnie James Dio, The Grand Wizard of Rock and the inventor of the rock fist, made a living writing corny lyrics as well. Bottom line is that if you like generic, cheesy heavy metal(which I happen to be a fan of) these guys take the cake. I like this album, but I would consider Appetite for Destruction: Guns&Roses or Master of Puppets: Metallica to be 5 star quality albums. Nevertheless I give it a 3 because its metal...and I like it |

 Musically great, lyrically, well....

| I agree with a few of the other reviews. Musically this cd rocks! The production is excellent, the singer sounds great, the band is tight and rocks hard, but the lyrics are VERY CHEESY! If you can ignore the lyrics, it's definitely worth picking up. |
