At Vance – Ride The Sky
At Vance – Ride The Sky CD (AFM)
I don’t know what it is about these guys, but there’s something about them that just leaves me cold. Maybe it’s because they make me think of Whitesnake, Extreme and Magnum (don’t ask me why) bloated on and by metal steroids, or maybe it’s because they sound too much like so many other bands that I don’t really get any sense of their own identity, it’s almost like they’re relying on their influences without having to put any of themselves into the final mix, and that’s a shame as there’s a wealth of musical talent in this band, and they sure know how to play metal. However, I will be keeping an eye on At Vance, as part of me feels like they’re capable of delivering something really special, they just need to take a chance and let their own identity take the lead and deliver….Tim Mass Movement
