THE BATTAlIi
Vol. 1 ‘Sweden’s’ deal

MILLENDER
The bad news for met
al heads these days is
that our very own grand
pappy Ozzy Osbourne
can’t possibly hang on
for much longer. What
ever arcane combination
of nutrition, exercise,
fell magicks and witch
craft that’s keeping him
alive long enough for
Sharon to trot him out
for another summer Ozzfest money-grab will
surely give out soon.
The good news for metal heads is that when
he finally does go on to metal Valhalla, we
have a clone all set to replace him.
Hellfueled, a quartet out of Huskvarna, Swe
den, looks and sounds like an excellent Ozzy
tribute band (which probably had a really hor
rible name like “Diarrhea of a Madman” or
“Lazy Train”) that just decided to start writ
ing original music and found out it was pretty
good at it.
The band has decided, probably in a moment
of delusional and blind ambition, to follow the
sacred and hallowed tradition carried on by the
likes of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to
name their debut album, “Volume 1.” Perhaps
its optimism was bolstered by the assistance of
legendary producer Fredrik Nordstrom whose
resume includes major European acts, such as
Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, Hammerfall and
In Flames that have seen limited commercial
success in a traditionally xenophobic American
metal market.
Speaking of metal tradition, some time in the
early 1980s, metal splintered off into about 20
different factions. Black metal, power metal.
thrash metal ... the list goes on and on
since do you see a band that refuses toai
to such trivial details as sub-genres. Rareli
you see a band that’s just a metal band.
Hellfueled is one of these rare beasts.
Its sound owes a lot to Ozzy, to be sursj
singer is aurally a dead ringer for him a®
guitarist relies on the same squealing, str;
forward, Gibson-Les-Paul-through-a!
shall-stack tone as legendary Ozzy guil
Zakk Wylde.
The album itself delivers a hard rocki
mix with more than competent guitar worlj
soaring, feel-good lyrics. Once you gel
the uncanny resemblance to the Ozz-mai
band’s sense for writing a good, catchy ht
really quite impressive.
The only weakness on the album is its
of change in pace; all the tracks arc up-t«
rock pieces. There is nary a power ballad
had — nothing to contrast the full-on rocll
The songs start to sound the same after a
but that doesn’t detract much from anoi
wise fine effort.
What Hellfueled lacks in sheer origiiJ
it makes up for with an infectious sensei
it really is having fun. The band’s Englisi
a-secoiul language hues convey a COtnaJ
with the essence and spirit of metal thatisj
as fun to listen to as it is rare.
With the glut of metal bands coming^
Sweden these days, it takes a lot to standc
may seem gimmicky, but sounding exacthj
Ozzy works well for this band.
