Traveler - Termination Shock (Gates of Hell Records)
Less than a year passed since the debut of Traveler, a very interesting album, among the highest rated classic metal releases of 2019. Today, having raised the bar, "Termination Shock" seems to be directly stylistically related to their debut, as the similarities of their covers leave no room for doubt. Musically the evolution of the band has been rapid, with a shift to more complex structures, a cleaner, clearer and more balanced production and the compositions while losing some of the edge of its predecessor become more interesting and timeless. The greatest comparative advantage of the new album lies in the clearly upgraded, more mature and controlled performances of Jean Pierre Abboud, the best so far in his career, which stand on the front line of "Termination Shock", along with the exemplary, well-groomed guitars by Ries and Schadlich. Ultimately, only time will reveal if the new material becomes popular (as their predecessor), however I am looking forward to see where the band goes next!
