Servants Of Justice starts in really contained, nearly spiritual manner with The Gallow March, which is dominated by orchestral bombast. This tactics is nicely chosen, because the following Lupara Bianca hits the misguided listener in highly melodic and fast-as-an-arrow style. Apart from high speed, the band offers swinging, hymnal guitar motives to guarantee for variance.
THE LAST HANGMEN are not in need of clear vocals or modern approaches, the musicians convince with a smart mixture of egregious, not at all egomaniac guitar work, eerie moods, rhythmic riffs and a pinch of keyboards in the background during The Hypocrite. A missing memorable refrain obviates this track to be a downright hit, but the music operates far away from knickknack or plain claptrap. Crash Course Dying holds a wonderful elegiac guitar part besides rapid attacks, ere Kalmah-like steamhammer chords in course of Little Ease demand full action of all air guitarists.
Afterwards, the unloading build-up of Knocking Tombstones Down works in similar splendid way as the basic nature turns to eeriness through the adoption of a dark waltzing passage. This insertion causes a captivating effect and I would have appreciated more sequences of that kind. I know that we can expect something great in future, justified by the continuous first-class guitar play and effective measure changes during the suspenseful finale Cloak And Dagger Operation, shredding the last resisting cervical. The circle finally closes with the anew symphonic Withdraw The Hangmen! in proper, but quite unspectacular style.
THE LAST HANGMEN sort many things out at best on Servants Of Justice, including a fine intuition for guitar melodies, tempo variations and playfulness, against what the refrains and surprising moments could be ameliorated on upcoming efforts.
