Here are 2 reviews in english of our "Psycho Samurai" album released on July 08
ROCK AND A HARD PLACE:
Classic Metal at it's best. These guys have so many elements of the Classic 80's Metal Bands. I hear elements of Jon Oliva in Eligio's vocals, and Metal Church in the guitar-work. You'll hear many other bands from the NWOBHM as well, from Riot to Priest and many others. Having said that, they do have their own style too. The vocals have a bit of the Spanish accent, which is cool, and gives it a little different vibe. The impressive thing about these guys is how they don't fit under any one category of Metal, they are progressive at times, a bit like Fates Warning, then they will come out and tear your face off with some blistering speeds. They're really a diverse and powerful band. If you are looking for some new Metal start thinking about Mexico, bands like Split Heaven do it right!

MARIO..S METAL MANIA (HOLLAND)
SPLIT HEAVEN – Psycho Samurai (CD) / Mexico / February 2009 / Mario van Dooren
Style: Power / Speed Metal Running time: 39:41 / (Tracks: 10)
Split Heaven was formed in 2003 by Pedro Zelbohr (Guitar) & Tomas Roitman (Drums). After recording 2 demos ("Lightstorm" & "R.I.P.") and a few line-up changes they signed to Asenath Records where they released their debut album "Split Heaven".
After that they signed to Blower Records and this is their first release on this great underground label. The band makes melodic powermetal with a very reasonable singer. When you compare them with their labelmates from Voltax & Strikemaster than it suits me that Split Heaven is not one of the many typical retro thrashbands of which dozens appear these days. No, the band is much more melodic and has some very good musicians on board!
The band do of course remind me to the mighty 80's when this kind of bands where playing everywhere. Gladly still a lot of newer (younger) bands dare to bring out this kind of metal. Bands to compare Split Heaven with are; Icarus Witch, Riot, Metal Church. Gladly the band found their own style and uses besides the regular powermetal also some progressive elements in their songs!
This is a damn good album which surprised me positive!! Hope to see the band someday live! Check them out if you're into 80's speed & powermetal.
92/100
