“The Induction” opens up with “Broken Crutch,” which screaming vocals called the eye. A common, but efective, guitar riff does the rest of the magic. “Broken Crutch” shows a very skilled band which knows what they really want. And it is a power melodic metal. The following track, “Monsters,” has a very anthemic chorus. The kind that makes you singalong without noticing. Helloween’s lessons were very well learned. Some may have the will to kill me for what I am going to tell, but “Mental Mayhem” has a great taste of Skid Row, mainly due to its vocals. Mr. Sebastian Bach was honored here. As a matter of fact, Skid Row’s spirit did not leave the place. The ballad, “Broken by Design,” could have been written by the guys. I mean it. In my opinion, this is no disrespect. Skid Row, if you leave all the excess behind, are a great band. If you doubt me, listen to “Slave to the Grind” and tell me. The last, but certainly not the least, “Waysted” has a great intro riff and a big emotional grip.
Well, to tell you the truth, it was a pleasure to listen to Secret Society “The Induction.” As I told in the beginning, it is not the most daring album I have ever heard, but it feels so good.
Secret Society “The Induction” is self-released and will be inducted on May 11th.

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!
