I was curious to see what would happen in this effort because both Tony and Vitalij are virtuoso keyboardists with a mutual interest in Chopin. And, Tony MacAlpine is one of the premiere guitarists in the neoclassical arena, so I really had high expectations when I had learned that the two were teaming up for this release. is different from Kuprij's previous two efforts. The composition covers a broader range and is not characterized by the same raw drive that the previous two efforts had. This is not to say that the music is without drive, but it seems as though the drive takes on a different nature in . Maybe it is just that Bellas' presence was so stunning on Extreme Measures that it was just difficult to follow. The high level of composition and sophistication delivered in the previous two CDs is maintained in . The album follows a format that seems to be emerging in the Kuprij releases where the first two tracks build up to the centerpiece which is the third track. My inclination for Chopin makes "Alternate Diversion", the third track on the album, my favorite. "Alternate Diversion" is based upon a Chopin prelude that Kuprij then decides to develop in his own way into a more involved composition. "Alternate Diversion" remains true to its namesake and goes in the directions unexpected, even though we are expecting it from the title. The opening theme, taken verbatim from Chopin, is MacAlpine's finest moment on the CD. The Chopin theme is played with an overpowering, haunting feel that is absolutely captivating. "Forever" is another good track that can be characterized as having a feel of appealing resignation to it. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give

Extractions: The Germans Scapegoat returns to the metal scene after facing some problems with the line-up and the bankruptcy of their label. Goddog of Prey is their sophomore release after their debut album Purify sold 1000 copies without any marketing or management. If the material on that release is comparable to this album then that is no real surprise. Goddog of Prey sees Scapegoat as an vintage early 80s power trio. Opener Martyr takes elements from Sabbaths War Pigs and Led Zeppelins Black Dog with a dose of modern aggression. This song is representative of the first few songs on the album: conventional song build-up, a very raw and energetic sound, razor sharp mid tempo riffing, gruff vocals with some higher screams here and there like the Squealer singer. Blossom of Pain and Black Hail shows that Scapegoat is capable of going beyond the predictable songs, taking elements from Cirith Ungol and older Savatage to create darker mesmerising songs. (CR)
