The next day we had a usual Sunday practice, followed by my REAL birthday on Monday. Nothing too interesting happened, except a bunch of reviews of Queen of Hell came! And they're absolutely BEAMING! I can't tell you how awesome it feels to read these, like maybe we might possibly be doing something RIGHT! So here's the reviews we've gotten so far, plus a few choice quotes I picked myself.. ;) I'll put up more reviews as we get them, but we seem to be on a pretty good roll!!
CD Review: A SOUND OF THUNDER ~ Queen of Hell EP by Rustyn Rose
Metalholic Magazine
...Old school Judas Priest meets Gamma Ray, classic Black Sabbath meets Hammerfall: Traditional meets power metal. The fact that Osegueda’s voice alone crashes down like a sound of thunder; one massive sonic tornado and 1000 unleashed hell hounds, only adds to the glory of the beast...
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: A Sound of Thunder, Queen of Hell by Craig Hartranft
Danger Dog Music Reviews
...The latter version features Veronica Freeman of Benedictum tying one on
in duet with ASoT's Nina Osegueda. You don't want to get between these
two gals; by vocal skills alone they can burn most ordinary metal bands
to the ground...
Heavy Metal Time Machine...If you could give only one selling point for the "Queen of Hell" EP it would have to be the vocals of Nina Osegueda. Nina's been
described as "the love child of Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson...",
but even that description fails to fully describe just how good she is...
Queen of Hell Review by Matt Vicente
The Metal Pit
...This is old school power metal at it’s finest, rapid rire double bass drums, aggressive, melodic vocals, and riffs from the depths of Hades...
A Sound Of Thunder – Queen of Hell (EP) by Niel Waterman
NovaMetalReview
...Nina Osegueda then completely slices off the top of your skull with a scream that truly could have come from the depths of Hell itself! Mission accomplished and we’re only 53 seconds into the track...
CD Review: A Sound of Thunder “Queen of Hell EP” by Mike Gencarelli
Media Mikes
...If you are a metal fan, there is no way in hell that this album won’t get you rocking out! Get those devil horns because you are going to need them!
