What sparkles the attention in “Infidel” is the neat and careful treat the guitars and all the instrumentals receive by the band. The guitar sequence in the middle of “Leave Them to Die” is pristine and neat as it is the guitar riffings and the drumming which gives the song its proper cadence. I would also highlight the anthemic chorus. Following track “Hellbitter” has that guitar riff that the fan has heard a dozen times but which still makes that good effect the band expects to. As I always tell about clichés, they exist because they are needed, and work indeed. As I told before it is really difficult for a band that proposes to play the NWOBHM to avoid clichés. First of all because fans ask for them; second of all because the music asks for them. The thing is that the band has to deal with them the more proper way they can. Listen to the guitar duo in “The Demon within” and tell me if it isn’t fantastic.
Ambush honestly, and smartly, try not to reinvent the wheel. The wheel has been already envented as most people know. Of course, Ambush give their contribution to the world of Metal music. “Infidel” is neat and pristine. It sounds real good. Just the way the fan likes.
Ambush “Infidel” will be released on March 13th via High Roller Records.
