Pastore- The Price for the Human Sins (private 2010)

This one came crushing through my stereo and got me down on my knees begging for mercy. Very much like fellow countrymen Painside this is extremely Priest influenced metal. Pastore are only more aggressive, not in a bad sense though. There’s definitely melody here but power is the most significant factor. Mario Pastore is a veteran of the Brazilian metal scene and it’s a shame I’ve never heard of him before, since he is a master of the metal scream. It’s also a shame Pastore is releasing this as a private and judging from the lack of reviews on the net the album hasn’t reached many people. Songs like Far away, Horizons are top class. On the later Mario takes a rest from his metal screams and delivers a beautiful semi-ballad beginning with acoustic guitars end ending with fantastic solos by Rafael Gaza who proves himself a worthy addition to the lineup. Get the album on the net, give it a chance and I’m sure you will give Pastore the support they need cause they deserve it.
