Metallum Nostrum - Powerwolf: Amazon.de: Musik ... Headless Cross. Headless Cross is one of those especially inspired moments; in fact, it ranks among the best albums the band ever released, and for good reason. “NIGHTWING FLIIIIIIIIIIIES AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!” And of course, the lineup would not be complete without drummer Cozy Powell, who lays down a powerful and monolithic drum track on Headless Cross. Thanks Mr Martin for the Satan factor, thank you Mr Powell for lending your Hammer’s and err its been nice to see you Laurence I hope the jazz fusion goes well. A good, more thematic riff comes from Iommi before Cottle's bass helps Tony Martin's intro. The town's inhabitants went to the hilltop to pray for deliverance, but no god saved them and they died of the plague. Martin's vocals and lyrics are also at their best, something he really has yet to top; his falsettos strangely working wonders with some of SABBATH's most Satanic and occult-based lyrics, and provides vocal lines that are epic and match the rest of the music quite well. No question. Lastly, there's Tony Martin. This has lead to many missing out on some of Sabbath's greatest releases like Tyr, Seventh Star, and the album being reviewed here, the mighty Headless Cross. Of the Ozzy albums only Sabotage can be regarded as a talented album in terms of vocals. Then...the title track. His chorus shouts really show off what power he has in his voice. As this is a Black Sabbath release, Tony Iommi is, of course, present, once again showing that he has not slowed down in creating crafty and crushing riffs. Black Sabbath turned back into a tighter team this time thanks to meticulous auditions and the help of friends. The riffs are crunching, drums blistering, bass thick and evil and Tony Martin's voice is more sinister than even the most death metal bands. So this album has a very high Satan quota, and it really works and lets face it where would heavy metal be without Old Nick? Well the first track (The Gates of Hell) is an intro leading into the title track Headless Cross which dominates the whole way through. Entdecken Sie Headless Cross von Powerwolf bei Amazon Music. The start and stop groove they both have actually make it essential for Cozy Powell's drum work to keep the pounding nature going. For a number of reasons (the negative critical reaction to Born Again, the bumping up of Tony Iommi solo record Seventh Star to Sabbath album and its subsequent tour falling to pieces, the constantly rotating lineup from the points Bill Ward and Geezer Butler quit in 1983 and 1984 respectively up through the first original lineup reunion, among others), for nearly 15 years the band was critically and commercially ignored save 1992's Dehumanizer, which featured fan favorite vocalist Ronnie James Dio fronting the classic Mob Rules lineup, which later went on to form Heaven and Hell in the mid-2000s. Albeit, this isn’t as good as those albums but that’s hardly a criticism. After managing to pull off a masterpiece album in the midst of some rather sizable line-up changes, Tony Iommi, his newly recruited front man Tony Martin and keyboardist Geoff Nicholls set out to reclaim the credibility that the Sabbath name still had back in the early 80s. The weak link in the player's lineup is bassist Laurence Cottle, who does a decent job of replicating Geezer Butler's bass style (see the title track and "Nightwing"), but is really only a session member.

I've long been an advocate of the non-mentioned, non-Ozzy Sabbath albums. His voice hasn't suffered one bit in between albums. The emphasis is on the Cross and the hidden moon, small in an ebony sky behind cimmerian clouds. Admittedly overall this effort doesn't pop quite as well as the last album, as it tends to fall really flat near the end of the album. Of course, Headless Cross does contain its share of diabolic moments, such as the beginning chorus to “Call of the Wild,” not to mention the captivatingly dark effect of Tony Martin’s singing. It's not the Black Sabbath people immediately expect upon hearing the name of the band, and Tony Martin doesn't have the legendary status Dio does (not at all trying to insinuate he's on Dio's level, mind you) to nullify the fact that it isn't the original lineup.
