Genre: power metal

On the second Soulitude album, "Destroy All Humans", multi-instrumentalist Jevo continues his sci-fi power metal journey to distant galaxies and beyond.

As with "The Crawlian Supremacy", "Destroy All Humans" offers power metal from the heavier end of the power metal spectrum, where we also find Nevermore, Harrow, Rawhead Rexx and the like. There are catchy choruses aplenty and melodic guitar hook lines as well as solid riffage (also drawing on thrash metal and classic metal) and impressive guitar solos. And, as far as I understand, there are live drums on this album, which certainly is a plus.

The keyboards and electronics are more prominent on this album, and, at times, Soulitude even uses sounds associated with Euro-dance so-called music - just check out "Turn Me Off" which, when it starts, could trick you into thinking that you're going to hear a techno-dance track from the late 90s. But, it actually works incredibly well, and this album shows that there is actually nothing inherently wrong with the sounds normally used in Euro-dance, because when used in Soulitude's power metal, they sound friggin' awesome (I guess this also shows that, if it's not the sounds used in Euro-dance that there's something wrong with, then it must be the Euro-dance so-called music itself that there must be something wrong with).

The vocals are marked by a think Spanish accent, but that's not really a problem; metal is global afte rall!

Recommended to power metal fans!
