WORLDVIEW – The Chosen Few

Worldview is a band based in the USA, and The Chosen Few is their debut release.  The Worldview band members apparently have a host of musical industry connections as evidenced by the guest musicians who have an iron in the fire, along with Bill Metoyer behind the mixing board (Slayer, Armored Saint, and others).  Overall, Worldview comes across as a Melodic Metal band with Progressive elements.  Although differences exist, Worldview sounds similar to Queensryche, focusing almost entirely on mid-tempo to slow-tempo songs.  The Chosen Few is a good effort, but could’ve benefited from a few more “pick me up” tracks.
