With the power of 666 tigers

18 / 20
➤ "... melodic old school Heavy Metal that owes as much to Judas Priest as it does to Iron Maiden ... singer/bassist Siri Sri with a great combination of pitches ... the band's best yet in terms of songwriting, engineering and production ... an album that both fans of old school Metal and more modern Metal should own ..."
(Kaosguards)

9,4 / 10
➤ "... weight and aggression forged in the form of the purest Indian Heavy Metal ... congratulations, AGAINST EVIL, for another great album and a story that has been free of musical flaws so far."
(Mundo Metal)

4,5 / 5
➤ "They have a winning formula … the riffs are straight up Metal and the tempo can border on Speed Metal … they also don’t try to push their limits or use studio trickery on their vocals … get this album, it’s essential!"
(Metal Rules)

4,5 / 5
➤ "… a full on and highly head bang-able gallop of traditional Heavy Metal with an immense infectious level."
(Metal Roos)

9,2 / 10
➤ "... show where to go ... straightforward, thunderous ... with 'Give 'Em Hell' AGAINST EVIL present another killer album ... unadulterated Heavy Metal as it should sound ... worthy release for the band's tenth anniversary ... a clear recommendation to buy ..."
(Keep On Rocking)

90 / 100
➤ "… very traditional Heavy Metal on high levels … strong speed attitude … not nostalgic or derivative … personalized shape with a stronger, modernized sound … abrasiveness of Thrash and Power melodies greatly enrich the work …"
(Heavy Metal Heaven - Italian Videozine )

9 / 10
➤ "... riff thunderstorm ... the raspy voice of Siri Sri goes well with this … killer record …"
(Crossfire)

9 / 10
➤ "... the guys do exactly what we fans want with 'Give 'Em Hell' ... 'Stay Dead!' could have come straight from the pen of the grandmaster Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, both musically and lyrically ... the Indians always prove what a great musical talent they have ... nowhere on this album is there a lack of creativity ..."
(Soundmagnet)

9 / 10
➤ "This is pure Heavy Metal the way it should sound. A worthy release for the band’s tenth anniversary."
(Metalheads Forever)

9 / 10
➤ "… unabashed, unadulterated and fist pumping Heavy Metal … nine heavy hitters across a heavier hitting thirty two minutes … all the way from the glorious eighties, AGAINST EVIL perfectly recreating a forty year old sound to please every listener, fan and follower!"
(Metal Gods TV)

4 / 5
➤ "Here are four guys who clearly want to win ... diversified ... vary in speed and arrangements ... traditional Heavy Metal base with set pieces from Speed, Thrash and NWoBHM ... songwriting, technical craftsmanship, powerful production, passion and dedication - it all fits ... all-round coherent overall package …"
(Stormbringer)

85 / 100
➤ "… the four Indians get us headbanging … bloody harmonies … stirring … belligerent riffs rooted in the 80s … sometimes the old ways are best, and Against Evil understands this …"
(Acta Infernalis)

8,5 / 10
➤ "The recipe for AGAINST EVIL's success has not changed at all ... simple and catchy, but at the same time sophisticatedly performed and excellently produced ... every number immediately screws itself into the brain and invites you to sing along ... radiates unbroken joy of playing and living ..."
(Obliveon)

8,5 / 10
➤ "... bands like Rage, Tyrant or Accept are always peeking around the corner here ... AGAINST EVIL deserve a big beer for this nostalgic axe ... released forty years ago, the album would certainly be a classic today ..."
(Zephyr's Odem)

8,5 / 10
➤ "... a very well done Heavy Metal album ... living proof that AGAINST EVIL is a great band that can play at a high level ... full of hits and strong riffs. You simply have to know it!"
(Power Metal Warrior)

12 / 15
➤ "Regardless of the speed, every number immediately screws its way into your brain and invites you to sing along ... lead guitarist Shasank keeps sprinkling in some great solos ... this work radiates an unbroken joy of playing and living ..."
(Legacy)

4,25 / 5
➤ "… this is a lot of fun … AGAINST EVIL crank out pummeling, straight-up Heavy Metal in the vein of bands like Priest or Running Wild … built on riffs, speed, and catchiness, and they don't disappoint … if you like 'Defenders Of The Faith' or "Under Jolly Roger' then you will like this."
(The Metal Crypt)

8 / 10
➤ "Classic Heavy Metal with NWOBHM influences ... powerful, voluminous ... crashing riff broadsides, driving power drumming, shimmering lead solos, rattling bass lines and expressive theatrical vocals ... Speed/Thrash flair ... with a preference for old-school Teutonic steel veterans of the Accept/Grave Digger variety ..."
(FFM-Rock)

8 / 10
➤ "Rest assured, the melodies and guitar work remain true to the original blueprint, but the raised intensity level is evident … said it last time, and continue to fly the flag, but AGAINST EVIL are a worthy addition to your collection. Give it a try."
(Brave Words)

8 / 10
(Burrn!)

8 / 10
"... excellent and powerful Heavy Metal with a vaguely thrashy touch, very varied ... framed by a powerful and modern sounding production ... the British basis of the Judas Priest extraction is interwoven with the American power of Helstar (and even a certain dose of Iced Earth) and the power of the last Accept to an overwhelming and highly energetic overall result ... qualitative continuity ... a very good album with well-structured and very pleasant to listen to tracks ..."
(Heavy Metal Webzine IT)

7,5 / 10
➤ "... take no prisoners. The sound of the South Asians has unmistakable influences of the 80s, especially bands like Grave Digger and Rage are names that spontaneously come to mind, and the vocals, which bassist Siri and guitarist Sravan apparently share, sometimes sound like Chris Boltendahl and sometimes like Peavy Wagner ..."
(Hellfire)

7,5 / 10
➤ "... the guitar work is simply outstanding ... good Heavy Metal entertainment, in view of which it is quite understandable that the four-piece has become an insider tip in scene circles and can certainly wow the crowd on the stage of a small club without any problems … all the tracks are so accessible that you can sing along with the second repetition of the chorus and generally nod along ..."
(Powermetal DE)

7,5 / 10
➤ "The Metal export hit from India is finally back on the scene ... was created directly after their second European tour where the guys could take the good vibe and the experiences directly with them ... the result is again an album that goes fast and straight to the twelve ... in the style of the beginnings of the band's biggest influences like Accept or Judas Priest ..."
(Rock Garage DE)

7,5 / 10
➤ "... without any ballast ... unerring riffs, catchy choruses and simple melodies … technically superb, especially the solos are great ... fat production … lots of eighties vibes ... fiery and passionately performed ..."
(Neckbreaker DE)

3,5 / 5
➤ "... play that damn classic Heavy Metal that they obviously love to death, inspired by the holy monsters of the genre (Judas and Maiden in particular), and they don't give a shit about any other argument ... the guitars are properly worked out, the bass pulsates well, the drums often set lively rhythms, the songs are enjoyable to listen to and re-listen to ..."
(All Around Metal)

7 / 10
➤ "... emphasis on 'catchy' riffs and concert choruses, sometimes a slight essence of Epic Metal, Accept, Judas Priest, Saxon (definitely post-2000), Rage (not only in the music but also in the vocals) ... nice stuff! Heavy metal is simple. And in its simplicity it hides beauty, but also pitfalls. One of them is to sound boring. AGAINST EVIL have not fallen into this trap ... a beautiful work ..."
(Rock Hard GR)

➤ "… gallops … snaps and crackles with electricity … burrowing sensation …"
(The Median Man)

➤ "… you can hear influences of Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, but the band has clearly their own sound … driving, riffs, nonstop … drummer John is absolutely killing it, sweatens his ass of, working so hard … love it … fantastic …"
(Beard Wizard Man)

➤ "… you’re gonna love it, trust me! AGAINST EVIL’s game plan is a simple one – bang some heads and keep ’em banging. And in those terms, it’s hard to see this record as anything other than a resounding success."
(Sentinel Daily)

➤ "... a must for anyone who loves classic Metal and craves new sounds in the genre ... AGAINST EVIL deliver a masterful blend of nostalgic sound and fresh energy ... "Give 'Em Hell" is a powerful reminder of why we love Heavy Metal and why it will remain unstoppable in the future."
(BlattTurbo)

➤ "… ready to rock and rage an entire world with their exhilarating Metal anthems! Fans of classic Metal acts such Accept and Judas Priest should check into what the mighty AGAINST EVIL has been unleashing for nearly a decade now … amazing band on the rise!"
(Highwire Daze)

➤ "… nine-track fist to the face … the combination of melodic Hard Rock to Heavy, Power, or Speed Metal influences keep the focus razor sharp … place great stock in carefully developing arrangements unique to each other that allow specific harmony characteristics to shine – from stellar guitar interplay during the lead breaks or mead-hall/battle cry-like unison voices – which could in the long run make this platter the strongest outing to date for the band …"
(Dead Rhetoric)

➤ "... made a good impression straight away ... the true Metal anthem 'Warriors' is fantastic, which Hammerfall would certainly be jealous of ... the Priest-like opener/title track 'Give 'Em Hell' is a fantastic fistraiser, which can be bawled along to immediately ... the whole thing is presented with a lot of drive and commitment, is well arranged and is accordingly a lot of fun … when it comes to originality, all you have left is a tired smile that turns into an enthusiastic 'Hellyeah!' ... that's a good thing!"
(Totentanz)

➤ "Honestly, this is good stuff … an unashamed throwback to the early days of Heavy Metal, but is of such quality that it doesn’t matter at all. AGAINST EVIL clearly understand the genre intimately, and their songwriting ability is ably demonstrated … if you’re a fan of old-school Metal and Thrash, then I can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t enjoy this album …"
(Wonderbox Metal)

➤ "… traditional full steam Metal … album number three by the Indians is really fun!"
(Electrictunes)

➤ "Really strong ... the vocals alone are really fun, plus crisp riffs and driving drums ..."
(Full Metal Mayhem)

➤ "… will please many traditionalists … faster paced affairs, on the border between the metal of early days Accept and Speed Metal … with a firm hand … in the direction of NWoBHM with some tasteful galloping style riff and rhythm combinations … guitar solo runs are flowing and melodic throughout … singer with more of gruff and hard type of delivery, which suits really well …"
(The Viking In The Wilderness)

➤ "… what a pleasure to listen to good Heavy Metal with such deep roots and get caught up in the maelstrom and power they exude ... good riffs and a taste for well-structured Metal that sounds so explosive ... every song directs your ears to the Metal you need ... keeps you interested from song to song and I think that's fundamental … enjoy!"
(Nada Hay Bajo El Sol)

➤ "… blending nostalgia with fresh energy … injecting a unique, forward-thinking vibe … power and universality …"
(Vicious Shred)

➤ "… you should give this band a chance … pure old school Heavy Metal, influenced by classic acts like Judas Priest, Accept, Iron Maiden, Megadeth etc. … no modern stuff here … just as powerful and strong as anything from the 80s or the latest album with Anvil … should be more famous, and it's not impossible that this album will help them to become that …"
(Hardrock Info)

➤ "... classic Heavy Metal with heart and soul, just the way you want it ... the sound has a lot of pressure, the production is very high quality, and the band knows their craft ... the songs are catchy, well structured and simply invite you to party, headbanging and a cold beer, and the evening is saved ..."
(MetalZone - Support The Underground)

➤ "... AGAINST EVIL raising the bar from their previous album to a whole new level … getting hotter and hotter as each song roars on by ..."
(Frenzy Fire)

➤ "If you’re into classic Metal, I have a hard time picturing you not digging … 'Give 'Em Hell' … has a lot to offer … love the machine gun drumming throughout, and some really cool lead guitar work as well … great …"
