"The Serial Healer" is without a doubt for fans of old school Metal acts such as Judas Priest, Accept and Grave Digger, who will appreciate the continued dedication this band of northern Italian bards has for the genre.
With a long history in the Metal scene, "The Serial Healer" being band's fifth release in twenty-two years, it is not surprising that the Skanners have been able to hone their skills and craft solid Metal soundscapes. Band are led by two original members, guitarist Fabio Tenca and vocalist Claudio Pisoni. Claudio is graced with a voice that can only be compared to Metal God, Rob Halford. Like Rob, Claudio is able to grab a song with his voice and carry it to another level. Fabio’s guitar work is solid and extremely well performed throughout the album. Also, rounding out the foray are returning members, guitarist Walther Unterhauser and bassist Renato Olivairi, as well as newer drummer Kranauer Christian.
It does not get much better than the first five tracks of "The Serial Healer". From the heavy opening riff of "Soul Finder" through the gallop of "Iron Horse" it show that these guys have an undeniable passion for great hook laden traditional Metal. They keep things at a more controlled pace with "The Dream", bring to mind some slower Priest moments, before returning to their familiar onslaught with "Flash Razor" and "Beyond Darkness". "The Serial Healer" wraps up with the acoustic driven "Immortality".
It always surprises when a band of this talent seems to get overlooked by the Metal community. Claudio is an amazing vocalist and should be mentioned alongside the great vocalists of this form of Metal. If you get in the mood for some older styled Metal do yourself a favor and check out Skanners, even though they are not breaking new ground they are without a doubt building upon the solid foundation poured by the forefathers of Metal!!
Enhanced CD features bonus video "The Serial Healer Report".

€ 19.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 199
The sixth full-length studio album by Italian Heavy Metal band.
With all of their mighty and long history since their formation in 1982, Skanners didn't stand with the big boys. Although these guys have a sense to create memorable songs on all of their albums, including "Factory Of Steel", they use the same formula as everyone else did back in the 80s and even today. Catchy tunes is the name of the game and in the case of Skanners, they implement catchiness everywhere on the album. "Factory OF Steel", on its whole, is a wonderful release with memorable songs. Nevertheless, the reason it can’t get higher than the grade given, is because as each track fades, the general idea is the same. It is like Skanners didn't even try to step out of the shell a bit and create something that might eventually be different from what they had done throughout their long career.
Skanners advantage is their experience that led them to remain classic even nowadays where heaviness is a very important to create powerful music. Their way to create memorable tunes is top notch as they follow the strict line of the 80s. Nevertheless, they will have to put some extra flavor into their future songs.
Whoever appreciates 80s German Heavy Metal, like Accept, old Helloween, Primal Fear and Sinner, will get a kick out of Skanners' Metal way!
