Shakra - Fall Review

The Swiss power metal band has a new vocalist, Mark Fox, who has a raspier style voice than the usual power metal singer. The album is good, but frustrating. There are so many good riffs, hooks and melodies, but Shakra has a difficult time putting all of them together in one single song. If they can take all of the ingredients that they already have and put them together consistently they will be a great band instead of merely a good one.
