WILDESTARR
The second full-length studio album by American Heavy/Power Metal.
WildeStarr was originally founded in 2003 by Metal veteran Dave Starr (formerly bassist of Laaz Rockit, original member of the legendary Vicious Rumors 80s line-up, later even playing with Chastain in the late 90s), in association with well-known powerful female vocalist/keyboardist London Wilde. Their first album, "Arrival" (2009), received very positive critics by numerous webzines and metal magazines worldwide.
The progression is huge on their second album, as the production is much better and the new member, drummer Josh Foster, injects some new dynamics and freshness into those great Power Metal tracks, very much influenced by Judas Priest and even more clearly by Vicious Rumors.
An outstanding concept album, inspired by the work of the great Edgar Allan Poe. Strong melodies, glistening harmony guitars, and a dark and powerful sound in the vein of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Queensryche, Savatage and Crimson Glory. The harmonized guitars are everywhere, the pace is quite fast and the ultra-high pitched vocals are very similar to late Carl Albert's (R.I.P.) (ex- Villain / Vicious Rumors). Miss London sounds as pretty much like as she was the little sister of Ralf Scheepers (ex- Tyran's Pace / ex- Gamma Ray / Primal Fear). 
The Black Sabbath "Neon Knights" cover song isn't perfect, but it allows streamlining & optimize the characteristics and the sound of the band. Strangely that with this cover the Vicious Rumors influence is more than obvious.
This is a very good album, that has a 80s air in all over the songs, razor guitars, strong arrangements and a fantastic singer! If you are into Primal Fear, Judas Priest, Helstar, and "Digital Dictator" / "Welcome To The Ball"’s era Vicious Rumors, this is an essential release for you!!
