AOR HEAVEN
 HELLvetia
Swiss rockers CRYSTAL BALL are back with a vengeance! After the
little bit decent predecessor, "HELLvetia" shows the
band again in a little more rocky manner and the power metal influences
are almost gone. This time, both the production (Stefan Kaufmann,
U.D.O.) and the vocal performance by Mark Sweaney are also top
notch again. The biggest strength of the band lies within the
amazing song-writing, which offers you diverse stuff which should
suit any kind of hard rock lover's taste.

The three opening tracks belong to the most impressive
ones experienced on an album lately such as the original title
song with the Alphorn intro, "Forever And Eternally"
with it's huge melodies and "My Life" with it's fat
chorus. The album continues this way and comes close to perfection
in every kind of sense. To sum it up - CRYSTAL BALL's new album
"HELLvetia" definitely will be a deadringer for SHAKRA's
new effort when it comes to the hard rock album of the year -
all thumbs up for Switzerland!
