Holy Moses is perhaps the longest operating, female fronted, heavy metal band from Germany. Since 1981, Sabina Classen, leads Holy Moses through decades of metal frenzy. Sure there were down times, but generally the band was releasing records, and playing shows. Invisible Queen is said to be the final studio album from Holy Moses, and it's their 12th after all.
Invisible Queen is a very heavy record. You don’t get the feeling this is their last album. This band sounds powerful and hungry, and ready to take on the world. If the plan was to finish in style, they certainly achieved that with this offering. The new and final album from Holy Moses melts your ears, and stretches your neck bones to the max.
Invisible Queen has an intense feel from the very beginning. The production, while clean, has a very dirty feel to it. It gives it that underground thrash “feel” everyone loves. The band is firing on all cylinders, and in the middle of it all is Sabina with her harsh growls. It is one very powerful mix of relentless riffs, and shrieking vocals. Enough to give you a headache, and trust me, that’s the type of headache you want!
Holy Moses definitely took their time, and got ready for their swan song album. Invisible Queen presents the band and the absolute top. This album is strong in every aspect possible. The performances captured leave you with a lasting effect. Invisible Queen showcases a legendary band advancing to the finish line, still punching with a bloodthirsty force.
