4.0 out of 5 stars Return of this decade's iconic American metal singer., December 16, 2007

Kinrick is the brain child of guitarist Corbin King ("Vainglory") and vocalist Stephen Frederick (ex "Firewind"); this line up is completed by James Martin on bass and ex "Firewind" drummer Stjian Cristoffersen. This collaboration delivers very honest and powerful American metal. If you have an opinion on the first two "Firewind" albums then you might agree that this effort comes very close to that style. The eastern feeling is here yet, unlike "Firewind", this album is more heavy than melodic. The rhythm section is impeccable, King's guitar parts similar to Gus G's (of "Firewind") and Stephen's vocals are the inevitable focal point. Still comparison between these two groups will not be in the favor of Kinrick. Band members were not involved in the songwriting process of this release as all compositions were put together by producer David Chaistain; consequently the end result tends to be typical rather than something promising and exciting, as most have come to expect from Stephen Frederick.

Hopefully songwriting issues will have been resolved until the next Kinrick album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meat & Potatoes Metal for 2005, July 27, 2005

If most of you haven't heard of this band, you need to immediately. Anyone familiar with Firewind will recognize Stephen Frederick on vocals here. I was not familiar with guitarist Corbin King and I will get much more familiar with his work pronto.
This album is perfect classic metal with thick heavy riffs and alot of short sweet guitar solos ( some songs with several of these type runs). Many of the solos are understated but that's not a negative, they work within the framework of the songs and aren't showboating as the 80's style was, but they are there & are well played. No power ballads here. This album is clearly going to be in my top 10 metal albums of 2005 because it is so well orchestrated. After ONE listen you'll know you've found a gem & you will be addicted to multiple listens as it just tears ass song after song.
