Crimson Storm play top notch speed metal on this, their first, full length, but the band has existed in some form since 2014, which gives them a seasoned sound. Their singer is very, very good, and sounds at times remarkably like Bruce Dickinson. I've seen this band compared to Riot or Running Wild, and while I can definitely see where those comparisons come from, this band doesn't sound completely like either one. They have their own personality and feel. The vocals definitely lead the music, as they should in this style of heavy metal. The singer is a focal point, leading the band around on a leash, so to speak. The riffs are catchy as hell, and every song is quite different from one another and many of them stick in your head immediately after hearing them, which is the sign of having great hooks. I think this band is at their best when playing balls-out fast, like on the track "Speed Hammerin' Metal," blazing along like wildfire. Crimson Storm is the answer to your speed metal need.
