Album Review: Denner/Shermann - Masters Of Evil

Michael Denner and Hank Shermann: a combination right up there with Dowling/Tipton and Murray/Smith in the annals of metal guitar. 

Not surprisingly then Masters Of Evil is full of godly riffs, many of which would have been at home on Mercyful Fate's sleek and triumphant 9. Masters Of Evil improves on last year's solid Satan's Tomb EP mostly thanks to vocalist Sean Peck, who this time around shows a bit more versatility, especially on the album's centrepiece The Wolf Feeds At Night. Sure, this may make you long for more Mercyful Fate LPs, but until that happens the Denner/Shermann project will do just nicely.
