Force Of Evil"Evil Comes...Alive" Ah...where to begin? First of all, Force Of Evil was formed by the legendary Mercyful Fate guitar team of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner. The band also includes bassist Hal Patino, who has played with King Diamond, drummer Bjarne T. Holm, who happens to be another Mercyful Fate member, and Iron Fire vocalist Martin Steene. Yeah...the amount of musical talent contained within this band is simply mind blowing and, if you have any doubts about that, they'll be laid to rest once you watch this performance, which was recorded during the bands SECOND SHOW! You might find that a bit hard to believe after watching this release because the band is right on the money. They've got their shit together...there's no doubt about that. The special features include an additional two songs, which were recorded during the bands first show at the Cleveland Rock Festival in 2003. Two different interviews, a quick bio, some studio stuff and an image gallery. That's all well and good, but, the real magic here is contained within the main, eleven song performance. It's raw and in your face or, as the DVD booklet states, "Evil Comes...Alive is a raw and unpolished documentary of our show. Just the way we like it. No bullshit, just pure and honest heavy metal." Oh, yeah, I couldn't agree more. So, if you're looking for a heavy metal release that you can really sink your teeth into, this is it. This is the real deal. Quit reading this review, get off the computer, grab some extra cash and run out and buy this release right now. If you're a heavy metal fan, either casual or hardcore, doesn't really matter...you need to have this release in your collection and you need to view it frequently. No excuses. |
