Poweful Classic Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal
author: Rice B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
Released for ’09, IYAM’s “Better Than Ever” CD, a collection of Classic Rock with Heavy Metal theatrics, sounds as fresh and relevant as ever. Since the likes of Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath popularized grandiose, anthem like Hard Rock virtues back in the day, many other sub-genres of Rock have come and gone, but Hard Rock and Metal’s appeal has never waned. IYAM prove themselves accomplished purveyors in their own right, displaying said virtues on an album that hits all the right marks: songs built on riffs of unstoppable force, slashing lead guitar work worthy of Randy Rhodes, well-crafted and exemplary lyrics that get to the heart of what Metal is all about; and a singer with the rage, fire, and immediacy to bring it all home. Highlights include “Witches And Warlocks,” built on a thundering blues riff, CD-opener “All Is Well,” a rocker with soaring hooks, and “Going Through The Motions,” with its Gothic atmosphere. IYAM’s “Better Than Ever” CD is, simply, well-executed and powerful classic hard rock.
