BRAINSTORM On The Spur Of The Moment (2011) CD

German power metal operates by a different set of physics. Guitars go faster, choruses go higher, and nobody apologises for any of it.

BRAINSTORM have been doing this since the mid-nineties without ever losing the thread, and On the Spur of the Moment from 2011 lands squarely in their reliable wheelhouse: tight, driving power metal with Andy B. Franck's vocals doing exactly what you want them to do over a band that has genuinely never phoned it in. This is the same tradition that gave you Helloween and Edguy, that distinctly German confidence in the power metal form, executed by a band that deserves more recognition than they typically get outside of devoted circles. If you have been working through the Hammerfall back catalogue or you are coming off an Avantasia binge, this fits right in.
