If anything, Christian Mistress
have got class...A certain tastefulness. Throwback heavy metal like
this usually comes in two forms; the first being the bands that know
this revivalist shit is silly, and refuse to become anything more than a
nostalgic joke. The second variety are the bands that take it too
seriously, and refuse to admit good music has been made after 1989. Christian Mistress
on the other hand are a band of very down-to-earth classic heavy metal
sounds; you can tell they take their work seriously, yet aren't afraid
to make it super fun.
If you don't like old school heavy metal revivalism, you can just leave now. No, Possession isn't an album of strictly cornered-in nostalgia, but it is obvious what kind of heavy metal fans they're targeting. Christian Mistress play a stripped-down NWOBHM type sound with a touch of that stoner metal edge. When you hit play on this album, two things come to mind; these riffs rule, and; this chicks voice is awesome. It's basically Barn Burner-meets-NWOBHM-esque riffs, with smoky vocals that will probably appeal to those who enjoy the likes of Farida Lemouchi of The Devil's Blood.

Unfortunately, as thoroughly enjoyable as this album is, it still comes across the same sort of problem that most bands of this variety face; the "I've heard this before" syndrome. It seems like it's a foregone conclusion that this problem is something inherent to all types throwback music. It's something you should come to expect. Granted, the riffs are solid enough to keep it flowing, but there are a small handful of moments where the only distinct part of the music is the vocals of Christine Davis, who is probably one of the most unique vocalists in metal today.
Christian Mistress are another band that doesn't really push any envelopes, but manage to make up for any lack of innovation with just pure, solid songwriting and performance.
Se você não gosta do momento old school revivalista do heavy metal, você pode simplesmente cair fora . O álbum é estritamente nostálgico, que não o tipo de heavy metal que está alvejando. Christian Mistress desempenham um som da era NWOBHM tipo de som despojado com um toque Stoner. Quando você ouve este álbum, duas coisas vêm à mente, riffs, e, esta voz garotas que é algo incrível. É basicamente no estilo NWOBHM, com vocais que provavelmente irá agradar a quem gosta gosta de Farida Lemouchi de The Devil's Blood.
Infelizmente, este álbum é, ainda se depara com o mesmo tipo de problema que a maioria das bandas tem "eu já ouvi isso antes" . Parece que é uma conclusão precipitada de que este problema é algo inerente a todos os tipos de retrocesso musicais . É algo que você deve esperar. Concedido, os riffs são sólidos o suficiente para mantê-lo fluindo, mas há um pequeno punhado de momentos em que a única parte diferente da música é o vocal de Christine Davis, que é, provavelmente, uma das vocalistas mais originais do metal hoje.
