7th album from 2017 by these Finnish veterans and a strong continuation of the successful second chapter that began with "Burning Leather". After reactivating the band earlier in the decade, OZ once again proved that its blend of Traditional Heavy Metal and NWOBHM-inspired melodies remained as effective as ever.
"!Transition State" delivers a more powerful and contemporary production while staying firmly rooted in the band's classic foundations. Packed with strong riffs, memorable choruses and energetic performances, the album finds OZ in excellent form and demonstrates its ability to craft timeless Heavy Metal decades after its original beginnings.
Recommended for fans of: TOKYO BLADE, SATAN, ANGEL WITCH, HEAVY LOAD.
