Iron Mask - Revenge Is My Name (2002)

Iron Butterfly... Iron Maiden... Iron Savior... Iron Fire... now here's Iron Mask.
This band is otherwise known as Dushan Petrossi's Iron Mask, due to Belgium guitar hero Dushan Petrossi being the driving force.
But, whoever is driving it, this debut is not all that great.  In fact, the only song that really flies is "Hold The Light", which comes near the end.  "You Are My Blood" is a ballad dedicated to (and about) Petrossi's young son, and it would be mean to bag a song with such a topic. But I will - it's boring.
Vocalist Phil Letawe is also another singer who pronounces the "W" in "sword". I know these people don't have English as their first language, but you'd think, since they sing about the things often enough, they could learn how to say the word properly.
Revenge Is My Name (the record's name, as well as some of the songs, are taken from Alexander Dumas' "Man In The Iron Mask") is an alright listen, but nothing really special.
