Album Review

It's been many years since headbangers have heard a peep from aggressive metallists Believer (1993's Dimensions was the last time they issued a new studio album). But seemingly out of nowhere, the group — which still features original/longtime members Kurt Bachman (vocals) and Joey Daub (drums) — returned in 2009, with Gabriel. The group's first release for the Metal Blade label shows that despite the long layoff between albums, the boys are automatically back in business, as a challenging, almost proggy edge can be detected in all the manic six-string riffing and growling, especially on such tracks as the album-opening "Medwton," plus "Focused Lethality" and the slowly building "The Brave." However, through and through, Believer don't stray all that far from their original path, as Gabriel still contains more than a few nods to vintage late-'80s/early-'90s metal.

Customer Reviews

Gabriel Pwns Death Magnetic

I'm shocked. I expected a desperate attempt to recapture former glory and cash in on the current thrash revival (Metallica, anybody?), but the insane level of musicianship mixed with creative songwriting on Gabriel blows my mind. You wouldn't know the band took 15 years off! Gabriel is definitely the metal album of the year so far. The album is technical, thrashy, melodic, brutal, and sounds incredible. It may be the album of their career. Maybe it's a good thing they took some time off and didn't slide into alterna-metal like Metallica and Anthrax.

Timeless Metal

They took the most interesting elements of each of the first three albums and made something completely new. I have had their music playing regularly since 1989. The choice of which album has depended on my mood. Extraction = Raw Aggression. Sanity = Straightforward Thrashy Rock. Dimensions = Heavy / Trippy / Mind Bending. Gabriel offers it all in all of the right places.

I`m downloading it right now...SUWEEEEEET!

Can`t wait to listen...Can`t wait to listen!......if the above review is in anyway accurate... I`m gonna love it! I too saw Believer in 89 & I`ve loved `em ever since!

Biography

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s

Evolving from thrash metal to a more progressive, symphonic brand of metal with classical vocals and instruments, the CCM group Believer formed in the late '80s. Vocalist/guitarist Kurt Bachman and drummer Joey Daub are the only constants in the continually revolving lineup. Believer's debut album Extractions from Mortality (1989) also included guitarist Dave Baddorf, bassist Howe Kraft and violin playing by Scott Laird, but 1990's Sanity Obscure replaced Kraft with Wyatt Robertson and added the...
