HELLFUELED / VOLUME ONE

This one has been out for a while but I only came across it recently, if you remember the Dream Evil release earlier this year you will remember there was a track on it where there was a guy who sounded so much like Ozzy I was convinced it was him, it wasn’t it turned out to be one Andy Aikman, vocalist with Hellfueled.

The voice is so like Ozzy it’s unreal and this is actually better then Ozzy has sounded for years, sacrilege to some I know but the nice thing about Hellfueled is that there are no ballads just no nonsense Metal that kicks ass. Credit where credit is due the guitar work by Jocke Lundgren is superb and matches any that appear on any current Metal CD’s, just check out "Second Deal" or "Live My Life" for proof. Overall this is a very good CD and a damn shame if it’s overlooked, if you like Ozzy’s heavier songs you will love this. Best tracks; "Let Me Out", Eternal", "Second Deal" and "Rock N Roll".
