LORRAINE CROSS – Army Of Shadows

Lorraine Cross comes from France, and Army Of Shadows is their debut record, which is essentially a tribute to those brave French soldiers who wouldn’t surrender in WWII.  Lorraine Cross is a Traditional Metal band that plays “no frills” Metal.  The majority of their songs are up-tempo (Speed Metal, if you will), with plenty of crunching powerchords, high octane guitar solos, and higher octave vocals.  Overall Army Of Shadows is a good effort, but the band may need another album or two to better blend the lyrics/vocals with the music, and to better handle their own form of controlled chaos.
