For Quayde Lahüe emotion comes first than musical technique and accuracy. Songs are full of melody and emotion, combinaing to song titles as “Symbol Of Love,” whose innocent guitar solos and duos create tons of emotional thrills. Again, singer Jenna Fitton’s voice calls the attention. She sings with passion added to a beautiful voice. In “Nightmare” she does it again, and with more emotion helped by a church organ sound that gives a more retro sonority.
Quayde Lahüe’s recriation of the early era of Metal is technically perfect. Instruments sound quite the same. Even the musical techniques are the same. Nobody goes far from it. “Just So You Know” is like if “The Runaways” were back. Jenna feels like Joan. We can also hear those rock’n’roll guitar riffs that almost went extinct. Quayde Lahüe has just added some boogie to modern Metal. No doubt that it’s a delight to hear Quayde Lahüe.
One must say that Quayde Lahüe “Day Of The Oppressor” is one more retro album as many others. I wouldn’t commit that mistake. As long as it’s hard to stand out these days, maybe a travel to the glorious past of Metal is the solution. Metal can be as fun as Quayde Lahüe “Day Of The Oppressor” can be. And we must praise that. Moreover, Quayde Lahüe “Day Of The Oppressor” may be a point of entry to all those glorious bands of that time. If not, at least, Quayde Lahüe “Day Of The Oppressor” is a fun effort.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
