Some underground acts never have the chance to record their work, to leave a legacy for future generations to study and grow from it, luckily this Peruvian heavy metal act after 15 years of existence got the change to put something on tape, the result is this live album.

You couldn’t get a more traditional heavy metal sound even if we were back in 1985; “Armagedon en La Noche” is a clean sounding album, a very good live recording, the guitars sound clean, and the vocals are tone in the right amount for any heavy act, the problem is that the great sound also gives you the chance to hear all the little mistakes made by lead singer Lobo, which by the way is lucky to even have a chance to sing after a serious illness that forced him to step down some time before this recording took place.

Every song has that epic chorus, fallowed by a guitar solo that characterizes the genre so much, Lobo’s vocals have a nice mellow quality, but they failed to reach some high pitch moments, of course something like this can happen on a live recording, still he fits perfectly to the rhythms and carries a very catchy tune all the time.

You can also find the classic “I’m young and rebellious” like in the very cheese “Sobre la Brecha” a good guitar song but a terrible vocal performance, maybe because the song demands a constant heavy metal scream that Armagedon’s Singer just can’t reach anymore.

Like I said at the beginning of the review, the best thing about the album is the quality of the recording, you can hear the bass lines in every song and the guitar work is great, solos, effects, heavy shredding riffs are all there to help a not so very impressive drum work.

Besides some obvious problems this album pulls out the classic heavy metal sound that made been a metalhead in the 80’s, so much fun.
