Phenomena - Blind Faith

Label: Escape
Format: CD download
Released: 2010
Reviewed By: Mark Gromen
Rating: 3/ 10


Actually the full name of the band is "From Tom Galley The Creator Of Phenomena", but how many people know who he is? However, he’s assembled a rather stellar line-up of vocal talent to help him out, including Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Mike DeMeo (formerly of Masterplan and Riot) and one time Black Sabbath singer Tony Martin, alongside hard rock veterans like Rob Moratti (Saga) and Terry Brock. DeMeo opens with a lackluster ‘The Sky Is Falling’.

 

The title track has plenty of violins to start and something of a Celtic vibe. Track #3, ‘Fighting’ is the only real metal number, the one featuring Scheepers, the others being AOR or hard rock, at best. ‘Liar’ is a mid-tempo number fronted by Martin, but after that, the second half of the album borders on soft, love ballads.
