Invaders is a straight-up glinting Spanish metal act that worships the 80s and adds extra fuel to the fire with a competent cover rendition of Dokken\u2019s \u2018Into The Fire\u2019 to round this debut full-length album off.<\/p>\n

While not bombastic or overtly heavyweight, Beware Of The Night<\/em> is nimble, vintage and fluid. Sergio Chamoso\u2019s vocals are clear and soaring throughout as the quintet carves simplistic designs such as opener \u2018Livin\u2019 In The End\u2019 and the devilish charge of \u2018Spin The Roulette\u2019.<\/p>\n

The whole record feels smooth, soulful and concise, and if you\u2019d purchased this in 1985 you\u2019d have been content but not blown away. After all, back then there were so many acts like this ranging from Keel to Dagger, but I do like the way this little gem flows.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a complex record, but it\u2019s certainly melodious. Led by Adri\u00e1n Rica\u2019s drums there\u2019s a tinge of W.A.S.P. about the fiery initiation to instrumental \u2018Visions\u2019, while \u2018Late To Return\u2019 drives in an unsophisticated manner, evidence that this band is more than happy to pay homage to the likes of Lizzy Borden, Stryper and Dokken without being flashy or fussy. \u2018Redhead Lady\u2019 again features nice, fluid axe work, as does \u2018Standing In The Twilight\u2019 which is where I find the band meatier and hotter, while \u2018Ghost Religion\u2019 is darker and brooding.<\/p>\n

Beware Of The Night<\/em> is a cheery record, and I\u2019d happily play this alongside that cracking Wanted debut Chain Reaction<\/em><\/a> which offers similar melodious strains and crispness. A good, solid debut then from Invaders and wrapped in an eye-catching cover to match.<\/p>\n
