TREMENDOUS! If you're in the mood for powerful mid tempo metal, June 9, 2008
This review is from: Criminal Justice (Audio CD)
Along with "Empire", "Razorback" is the band/project of German guitarist Rolf Munkes. Although set up as a personal project, Empire includes an all star line up: Stephen Berggren ("Snakes in Paradise", ex-"Company of Snakes") on vocals, drummer Andre Hilgers ("Silent Force", "Rage") and Munkes on guitar; the line up is completed by bass player Marcus Bielenberg and second guitarist Chris Heun.
Originally released in 2005, this album is a unique combination of mid tempo metal with a hint of AOR. Razorback offers masterpiece hymns such as "Ain't a perfect day" and "Criminal Justice" while "Big city jungle" could as well have become a radio hit, given the opportunity.
Overall this is a very original album that deserves one's attention. Usually up tempo songs are the ones that get most of the credit in the rock/metal circle, yet in this case the smooth pace of the album gives the listener the chance to appreciate Munkes's fat, satisfactory guitar sound and Berggren's depth of voice.

Excellent second effort, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Criminal Justice (Audio CD)
Criminal Justice is one of those CDs that could be in my player for a long time. It is that good!! This is in the vein of early Whitesnake with heavier and louder guitars.
