FORENSICK – The Prophecy

Forensick is a young Traditional Metal band from Germany whose members are all in their mid-20s.  They feature a “classic” line-up that includes a twin-guitar attack and a frontman vocalist (Tobias Hubner).  The Prophecy is their sophomore release, and contains just about all of the elements Traditional Metal fans love … catchy riffs, thumping bass and drums, and plenty of extended guitar solos.  Those musical elements are all performed well, however, the glaring weakness within Forensick is the vocal performance of Hubner – his high notes are misplaced and off-key, and unfortunately knock down the overall album rating a few points.
