Products similar to Pure Holocaust - Immortal
Lock Up The Wolves - Dio
Valiant effort.
Sub-par incarnation of the band can't achieve too much.
Lucidity - Delain
Strong guitars, soaring keyboards and excellent vocals
Growly vocals feel a little out of place at time
Magica - Dio
Dio gets his mojo back, and celebrates in bombastic concept album style.
Riffs are still repetitive and plodding.
Human - Death
Excellent experimental touches combined with solid death metal.
Bass is obscured by production.
Kal - Kal
A sublime fusion of roots and more modern music
Not as good as some contemporaries
Killing The Dragon - Dio
Returns to tried-and-tested ground.
Fails to live up to the old standard.
Last In Line - Dio
More classic metal, with Dio's best song in the title track.
Essentially nine more tracks of the same.
Leave Scars - Dark Angel
A heavier take on eighties thrash.
Less memorable than its predecessor.
Lady Of The Lore - Desdemona
Fun power metal.
Heard it all before.
