5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS HOW POWER METAL SHOULD BE PLAYED - NO [] BALLADS!, December 5, 2002

If you want a tight, concise power metal with great riffs and dual guitar soloing attacks this is a must have. I'm tired to listen to stratovarius, hammerfall and other bands who always include some ballads on their playlist, the best here is that there is NO BALLADS!! just powerful non-stop medium and fast speed songs! The vocal just stands to hold the base lines, but is not really bad... forget the other reviewers who said so, just get it!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Steel Attack - Where Mankind Fails, June 11, 2008

This review is from: Where Mankind Fails (Audio CD)

"Where Mankind Fails" (1999) is the first album by Swedish power metal band Steel Attack. This album has a fairly generic feel to it: the energy is high, the originality is low, and the lyrics are about warriors and dragons and such.

The drumming and guitar work on "Where Mankind Fails" tend to be very fast and quite good. Singer Steven Steel has a great metal name, but only an average voice. There's no truly amazing track on the album, and nothing is unbearable (although "Thunder Knight", with its very cheesy chorus, is close).

As a debut album, this is decent. But a little more creativity would be nice.

Not just a clone, but a full step in Power Metal. Heavy guitars, Thick bass lines & tremendous double bass outline this great band from Sweden. Very catchy lyrics from a very good singer.
