In the heavy vein of DIO or IRON MAIDEN or whoever the hell else – not a huge expert of traditional Heavy Metal or NWOBHM – Italy’s SCREAMING SHADOWS play some pretty goddamn impressive Metal that’s carried by the insane pipes of Gianluigi Girardi and the highly melodic and catchy instrumentation that varies from head-on rocking to emotional ballad weeping. Their fourth full-length album, “Night Keeper,” is assuredly a step in the right direction because, really, the album is just stoked with huge vocals and expressive and appropriately goose-bump inducing music.
