VINDICTIV – Cage Of Infinity

Vindictiv is a Swedish-based 5-piece headed up by guitarist Stefan Lindholm that has previously been characterized as a Neoclassical/Progressive Metal band. Lars Chriss (best known as the guitarist and leader of Lion’s Share) produced Cage Of Infinity (good oxymoron use there!), to help change the band’s direction into more of a Traditional Metal outfit. Bringing on Chriss was a well-advised move, because Cage Of Infinity is a solid and entertaining, guitar-based album from end to end. Vocalist Marco Sandron’s performance is less stellar than the music, but he holds his own nonetheless, making this an album definitely worth an inquiry.
