New Blast Infight Review

From England !!!!

http://www.archaic-magazine.com/article.php?aid=44196

In 2005 colleague Isaak reviewed the album “Seeds of Pain” from the French metallers Kragens. Just like Isaak I wasn’t familiar with Kragens before their release of “Seeds of Pain” either, but I was totally blown away by it as well! That album was from a high-quality level which showed us power/thrash metal with vocals ranging between clean, grunts, screams and everything in between. The strength of these vocal performances by singer Renaud Espeche (I hope that’s not an artist name for Renault Espace…) made that album very spectacular and impressive. When the new album “InFight” was released I was more than curious if and how the band would top their previous work.
Well, I can assure you that “InFight” has become another high-quality album! It’s up to everyone’s own personal interest to say if it’s better as “Seeds of Pain”. I would like to say that both albums are different from eachother, but equally strong and impressive. On “InFight” the band seems more clear in what kind of musical direction they want to head. The album has turned out a top-notch modern power/thrash/heavy metal album. Modern, yet with a lot of love for the old school tradition. Keep something between old and new Nevermore, Candlemass, Testament, Jag Panzer, Accept and Helstar in mind (something Swedish band Pathos also was capable of on their “Katharsis” album, whatever happened to that band?). An ultra tight and fat production by Tue Madsen reveals in every detail what guitarists Cedric Sellier and newcomer Gil Giachino are capable of. Fast thrash shredding, open heavy metal passages, melodic licks and solo’s, you name it. Bassist Denis Malek and drummer Olivier Gavelle take care of a solid and thunderous backbone that kicks-ass! But just like on the previous album it’s vocalist Renaud that steals the show again! Man, that guy has such a varied and pure throat you sometimes doubt it’s the same man! Like I mentioned before, the band seems to be more focused on their chosen direction, better in balance so to say. This time Renaud uses his voice a bit less experimental, he has picked out the types of vocals he’s best at. Therefore the album sounds more raw, aggressive and straight forward. Strong shouting, grunting and screaming are better dosed and changed with powerful clean vocals that should inspire Messiah Marcolin (ex-Candlemass) to pick up the mic again. The combination of exciting musical playing and supreme vocal duties has delivered nine excellent songs from which in some of them the pace lies around mid-tempo (“Deaf and Blind”, “Lake of Fire”, “Angels among Monsters”, “Masked of the Damned” and “Metalize”) or others go in speeding mode ( “Tyranny of Gods”, “ Ten Treasons we Fight” and “Only the Weak Survive”). The beautiful long powerballad “The Falling Man” really is from a classic super level and is my personal highlight from the album!
I cannot come up with real downsides on “InFight” (except for the cheap artwork maybe), this album is simply finished from head to toe. Lovers of this genre should not only look to the US or in smaller amount, Germany, but take a look to France as well. A country where killer bands seem to pop up more and more, something I think is a great development. Now let’s hope the Locomotive label will get this band to tour more outside of France and surrounding countries, because I’m sure a lot metal maniacs will bang their head empty on these tunes!

Who knows how to speak Hungarian ?

One more killer review of "INFIGHT" we don't understand !!! : 9/10

http://kronosmortus.hu/node/10673

Ha egy országban egy lemezt az „év legjobb, hazai együttes által kiadott albuma” címre jelölnek, akkor az mindenképpen figyelemre méltó. Jelen esetben azért is, mert Franciaországról van szó, amelynek metalzenei színtere nem igazán tartozik az elithez (bár ebből a szempontból mindenképpen feltörekvőnek mondható), így egy-egy ilyen album jó útmutató lehet a szcéna aktuális helyzetéhez. Magát a zenekart ráadásul sokat tapasztalt zenészek alkotják: a Kragensbe főként a 80-as évek nevesebb heavy metal bandáiból érkeztek a tagok. Mivel önmaguk zenéjét thrash metalként jellemezték, ezért mindent egybevetve én valamiféle retro-zenére számítottam, mondjuk a korai Annihilator vagy Overkill szellemében.
Ehhez képest egy kissé meglepett a lemez első másfél perce, egy pillanatig azt hittem, rossz CD-t tettem be a lejátszómba. Az Infight ugyanis egy szépen megírt, de kissé melankolikus billentyű-vonós kettőssel nyit, amit egy atmoszférikus doom téma követ, és csak ezután kezdődik a lényeg, a vérbő thrash metal. Már itt, a Deaf And Blind-nál is látható, hogy az oldschoolos verze mellett milyen remekül megférnek az újszerűbb lead-témák és a modernebb gitárhangzás. Ennél a nyitószámnál áll talán legközelebb a régi és az új metalvilág, ezek után pedig a lemezt nyugodtan lehetne a „korral való haladás” iskolapéldájaként tekinteni. A gyökerek ugyanis egyértelműen érződnek minden egyes riffen és dalon, de mégis olyan megoldásokkal is operálnak, amelyek az igazi hőskorra nem igazán voltak jellemzőek.
Mindjárt a Lake Of Fire-ben olyan groove-os kezdés van, hogy azt bármelyik északi modern metal banda megirigyelhetné, az Angels Among Monstersben nem elég, hogy a szimfonikusabb sötét zenék elemei is fel-felbukkannak, de a refrént akár Freddy Mercury is énekelhetné, annyira Queen-es lett. És akkor még nem is beszéltünk arról, hogy a Tyranny of Godban a dobos Olivier Gavelle gyors témája előrevetíti, hogy itt bizony a death metal jegyeit fogjuk viszonthallani a számban. Ráadásul nemcsak a gitár- és a dobtémák rendelkeznek ezen sajátosságokkal, hanem ehhez az ezen az albumon brillírozó Renaud Espeche is hozzásegít mélyebb és magasabb üvöltéseivel – károgásnak és hörgésnek azért még nem nevezném, de egyáltalán nem rossz, amit csinál. A számok közül kiemelném még a Ten Treasons to Fightot, ez volt az első ugyanis, amit rögtön megkedveltem. Erről a számról mondjuk már eszembe jutott a korai Annihilator, még a hangszínben is, egészen addig, amíg Renaud bele nem kevert egy kis színtiszta heavy metal vokáltémát, és innentől kezdve egészen más színt kapott a dal, és akkor az ez után következő thrash ’n’ rollos részről még nem is beszéltünk.
Sajnos azonban ez a lendület a lemez feléig tart, amikor következik a kötelező lírai tétel, amelyről sajnos nem tudok ennyi jót elmondani. Én ezeket eleve fenntartásokkal fogadom, mert az ilyen típusú dalokat nem kedvelem, és kevés olyan lírai számot hallottam a stíluson belül, amely tetszett volna. Végülis nem rossz a dal, de annyira nem érzem erősnek sem a hangulatát, ráadásul sokszor volt olyan érzésem egy-két témaváltásnál, hogy ebből többet is ki lehetett volna hozni. Ráadásul a dal hossza meghaladja a 8 percet, amivel igen erősen megtöri a lemez dinamikáját, igaz a szám végét azért kicsit felpörgették, és ott a hangulatot is sikerült újra elcsípni. Ezt követően újra jobb számok következnek, igaz, nem annyira kivételesen erősek, mint a lemez első felén, de ezek is remekül vannak megírva. Itt már inkább a modernebb, groove-osabb thrash témák dominálnak, néha színezik csak például egy-egy szintetizátoros szőnyegkísérettel vagy például egy olyan gitárleaddel, amelyet akusztikus gitár kísér (a Metalize című számban).
Példamutató albumot rakott le az asztalra a Kragens, ha azt vesszük alapul, hogy hogyan kell egy olyan lemezt készíteni, ami modern, de egyértelműen érződik a gyökerek hatása, mi több, remek egyveleget alkot azzal. Az Infight sokszínűsége miatt minden stílus és minden korosztály megtalálhatja benne a kedvére valót, hisz egy időben van jelen a metal jelenje és múltja, a sötétebb és a fémesebb stílusok jegyei, a vidámabb és a komorabb témák, a zenészek tapasztalata és képességei pedig garanciát jelentenek a minőségre. Lehet, hogy sok, a stílus iránt elkötelezett rajongót éppen ez a kísérletezés riaszt majd el, de én így képzelem el egy régóta élő, ám fejlődés szempontjából kissé stagnáló irányzat korszerű megvalósítását.

A new good review from Spain !

From the spanish webzine Metal Forever, 8/10

Hace ya unos cuantos años que Locomotive Music comenzó su proceso de internacionalización, y los franceses KRAGENS, de Niza más concretamente, son una buena muestra de ello.

Este “InFight” es su tercer disco desde que se fundara el grupo allá por el año 2000, y el segundo con la discográfica española, tras “Seeds Of Pain”, editado en 2005.

El disco comienza con “Deaf And Blind” donde tras una breve intro a base de violín y piano para dar paso a un tema heavy-thrash con influencias de bandas como por ejemplo TESTAMENT o los antiguos Rage. En “Lake Of Fire” se mantienen los riffs thrash aunque este tema este más cercano al heavy metal más clásico tipo GRAVE DIGGERa donde la rasgada voz de Renaud Espeche hace un gran trabajo protegido siempre por el efectivo trabajo del resto de los miembros del grupo.

En “Angels Among Monsters” nos encontramos con un tema basado más en pesados riffs que en la velocidad quedando un tema algo más lento que lo hasta ahora escuchado pero no por ello carente de fuerza. En “Tyranny Of God” vuelven a recuperar la velocidad con una batería a doble bombo y un velocísimo riff para volver a la senda del thrash, camino que mantienen durante “Ten Treasons We Fight” aunque en esta más entremezclada con el heavy.

“The Falling Men” canción que nos encontramos a continuación se trata de una balada del disco donde Renaud da muestras de sus posibilidades con un completo cambio de registro a una voz mucho más melódica y limpia. Tras esta canción nos vuelven a golpear con un nuevo tema del thrash metal más clásico, cercano a TESTAMENT o METALLICA por citar un par. Tras “Only The Weak Survive” vienen “Mask Of The Dammed” tema en el que se alejan del thrash para centrarse una vez más en el heavy metal y la canción que cierra el disco, “Metalize” otro tema cercano al heavy metal.

En definitiva, estamos ante una banda con amplias posibilidades, pero a la que quizás aun se le noten demasiado sus influencias en el sonido como por ejemplo los citados GRAVE DIGGER o TESTAMENT.

One more awesome Infight review !

Written in Dutch, but anyway that's the average that counts!

Metal Fan NL (link in "Press, Reviews")

Veel reviewers schrijven geregeld ‘u moet dit nu gaan luisteren, NU'. Vergeet dat allemaal maar en ga nu eens luisteren naar het Franse Kragens dat mij met Infight volledig heeft overtuigd. Deze band bracht eerder al twee albums uit die mij (voorlopig nog) onbekend zijn en als deze nog maar de helft van het niveau hebben dan zijn dat ook aanraders. Deze act is ontstaan uit verschillende Franse heavy metalbands uit de 80’s als Demon Eyes, Lynx, Thorium en Tribal. Maar verwacht geen oubollige heavy metal, maar een superstoere mix van Judas Priest ten tijden van Painkiller vermengt met een stevige dosis Nevermore.
Alles aan dit werkstuk is indrukwekkend. Zanger Renaud Espeche heeft géén accent, maar wel een ferme strot die zowel een falsetstem, lage Warrel Dane geluiden als grunts voorspuwt. De beide gitaristen schitteren zowel in ritmepartijen als in leads en solo’s en de ritmesectie klinkt lekker modern. De negen songs zijn stuk voor stuk stoer en ik kan niet echt een kritiekpuntje of zelfs een schoonheidsfoutje aanduiden. Ik had Lizzy Borden’s Appointment With Death uitgeroepen tot ‘beste pure heavy metal cd van 2007’, maar nu staat daar toch echt Kragens. Nu luisteren. NU.

Score: 89 / 100

New review ! From Italy !

Negatron Webzine

Con la pubblicazione di “Infight”, i francesi Kragens giungono alla pubblicazione del terzo album in studio in soli quattro anni di attività. Il precedente “Seeds Of Pain” uscito nel 2005, ci aveva consegnato una band ancora acerba sotto diversi punti di vista, il nuovo lavoro di Renaude Espeche e compagni invece, conferma le grosse potenzialità dei Kragens, nettamente più maturi rispetto all’album d’esordio “Dying In A Desert” e capaci di evidenziare una forte personalità, oltre ad una discreta preparazione tecnica. Il punto di riferimento principale a riguardo del genere suonato, sono senza alcuna ombra di dubbio i Nevermore, ma i Kragens dimostrano in tutte le nove canzoni di “Infight”, di saper spaziare su diversi generi. Nell’album si possono infatti facilmente trovare sprazzi di thrash in stile Metallica o Testament, la potenza dei Kreator e dei Sodom, la velocità dei Children Of Bodom, oltre alla melodia del death metal scandinavo tipico dei Soilwork. Ottima la prova del cantante Renaude Espeche, abile a districarsi su diverse tonalità, con un tono di voce che risulta un mix tra Chris Bolthendal dei Grave Digger e Matt Barlow degli Iced Earth. Egregia la produzione, come altrettanto buono è risultato il lavoro della sezione ritmica e delle tastiere, ma sono le chitarre di Giachino e Sellier a dare un deciso tocco in più ad ogni singolo brano. “Deaf And Blind”, brano d’apertura, risulta un mix tra le diverse scuole di thrash, ossia quello della Bay Area e quello di matrice tedesca, “Lake Of Fire” invece, evidenza i diversi punti in comune con i Nevermore e gli Arch Enemy, con inoltre un finale degno di “Painkiller” dei Priest. In “Angels Among Monsters”, sono diverse le influenze presenti oltre a quelle basilari, si parte con un’atmosfera simil 69 Eyes, con tracce di Vicious Rumors, fino a giungere ai soliti Nevermore che aleggiano pesantemente anche in “Ten Treasons We Fight”, nella splendida “Metalize” ed in “Mask Of The Damned”, dove si nota anche l’influenza degli Iced Earth. “Tyranny Of God” è un mix di Sodom ed Emperor con alcuni spunti tipici dei Necrodeath, “The Falling Man” è invece il momento più alto di “Infight”, un brano molto melodico sulla falsa riga di “The Legacy” dei Testament. “Infight” è un album indirizzato non solo agli amanti del settore, ma a tutti i fan del metal al 360°.

A nice review from Nederland 9/10

Nice, you get a copy of the new Kragens called Infight without any information from the record company. Normally that won’t do you any good if I get my hands on such a thing.
But with Kragens I will strike with my hand over my heart. I knew this band from their latest recording Seeds of Pain from 2005. I really liked that album from the French guys. Before Seeds of Pain they made [/i]Dying in a Desert[/i] in 2004. Now we have arrived in 2008 and here is the new Kragens, spinning rounds in my cd-player.

The musicians in Kragens are playing also in other bands that you might know. Guitarplayer Gilles Giachino is also active in Xtrunk and Medusa who’s latest sign of life was in 2002 with the album Etherias. Denis Malek and Renaud Espeche have once made a demo with the band Lynx in 1985. And the same Renaud Espeche was present in the French band Demon Eyes in the eighties. Remember those guys ??

Now they are all in Kragens. And they have made their third album Infight. As you can read above I didn’t have any info with my copy of Infight. So when you do not know Mr. Renaud Espeche you could think that are a few guest singers on this album. What Renaud Espeche can do with his voice is sometimes unbelievable. He sounds just like Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O., ex-Accept) on Lake of Fire. The man also knows Warrel Dane (Nevermore, ex-Sanctuary) on Angels Among Monsters and on The Falling Man he even sounds like Geoff Tate (Queensrÿche). Yes I know it looks to good to be true, but listen yourself. The music is heavy metal in it’s purest form with some sidewalks to thrash metal. Think of Judas Priest meets Nevermore or Exodus. So Kragens has made with Infight a marvellous metal album. It doesn’t sound original, but with those songs and a brilliant singer Kragens is ready to be picked up by the greater audience. The boys from France deserve that. Infight held my attention the whole 47 minutes and I know that it’s only just March when you read this, but they make a big chance to end in my top 10 yearlist from 2008. Go get this heavy metal pur-sang album and enjoy Infight just like I still do.

Italia welcome Kragens !

Our track « Seeds Of Pain » on the Rock Hard Italy Sampler ! (Num 34) with that comment in Italian :

« Si sono formati a Nizza nel 2000 grazie alla volontà dei chitarristi Cedric (ex Strutters, Thorium) e Ludwig. Punto di forza della line-up è da sempre la caramistica voce di Renaud Espeche (ex Demon Eyes, Lynx), distintosi per le sue abilità infinite che gli consentono di spaziare a 360 gradi sulle tonalità. Di non poco rilievo anche la sua forte somiglianza (timbro, fantasia e determinazione) con il leggendario Bruce Dickinson. I Kragens mischiano abilmente potenti melodie a riff accattivanti e il loro sound è un sapido potpourri di Nevermore, Iron Maiden, Soilwork e In Flames. » Recensioni next month.

Metal Hammer Italy sept 2005 : rate 4/6 ! :

« Scontenti dell’ultimo arrivato in casa nevermore ? Da anni gli Iron Maiden vi stanno facendo roteare gli attributi gemelli a causa di prove che non ritenete all’altezza del loro illustre passato ? Tranquilli, non serve a nulla buttarsi su Toto Cutugno per il resto dei vostri giorni, vi è sufficiente affidarvi alle cure dei Kragens, dei quali « Seeds Of Pain » sembra creato apposta per essere ascoltato ed acquistato da chi cerca un nuovo ensemble da seguire con attenzione. I Kragens ributtano la Francia nella mischia dei paesi capaci di dire la loro nell’export di Heavy Metal e l’inconveniente di essere dei debuttanti non deve influenzare a dismisura il giudizio di un album fondato su riff immediati e sulla duttilità vocale di Renaud Espeche, clone semi esperto di Bruce Dickinson, oltre ad essere un sceamer di mezzana fattura. Nessun brano da rilevare a scapito di altri : « Seeds Of Pain » si lascia gradevolmante apprezare nel suo intero e avvicina i cugini d’Oltralpe alle nostre simpatie... »

Our tour with God Dethroned is cancelled. Stay tuned, we are looking for another tour...
