Sacred Steel - Carnage Victory (2009)

Carnage Victory is the latest release from Germany's Sacred Steel. It is a fairly unremarkable mid-paced Heavy/Power Metal offering that occasionally drifts towards speedier Power Metal or displays a bit of NWOBHM influence. You've heard all the riffs before and singer Gerrit Mutz has a voice that seems OK at first, but started to grate on my nerves by the end of each listen. His Johnny Rotten-like warble sounds off-key, more often than not, and that bugs the hell out of me. Everything about Carnage Victory is just kind of blah, from the sound to the songs.
