Nemesis are a metal band and quite a good one at that. You know, this is the sort of hard rocking music you find on the soundtrack on skate videos. Trouble is Nemesis bear a striking resemblance to many a metal band- ‘Empress (Of Rancor)’ (some sort of Star Wars reference?) is Pantera’s ‘This Love’, ‘War Between One’ is Metallica’s ‘Blackened’, ‘Code of Silence’ is Jim Martin playing guitar on Faith-No-More’s ‘Angel Dust’, and ‘Myth or Man’(don’t you just love these names) is Sepultura’s ‘Roots’.
They give us all the elements that we’ve come to expect from a metal band, from the cheesy guitar lick on the intro of ‘The Summoning’ to the note-perfect squealing solo of track9 (a mid paced headbangers delight, and my personal favourite). These will no doubt have many a metalhead beginner guitarist spending hours working trying to figure them out. (6)
