| Album Score: 5,5/10 |
This album was giving off bad vibes from the beginning: first off, it’s called “To the Metal”, which is pretty bad even in the field of power metal (but at least it’s not called “Ultra Beatdown”). However, upon hearing live versions of the title track last year, I was pleasantly surprised by Gamma Ray’s cover of “Metal Gods” until I found out it was supposed to be an original composition. To make matters worse, the album cover featured Fangface (Gamma Ray’s unofficial mascot) versions of each of the band members. So there was a pretty low spread on this album before so much as a release date was issued.
