168 - Holy Moses End of Time 2005

Sabina Classen of the German speed metal maniacs Holy Moses established a foothold that has allowed women like Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil and Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy to revel in success without excessively harsh criticism.
Strength Power Will Passion is the group’s ninth release and the first without any assistance from what was their chief songwriter for most of their recording career, Andy Classen, who quit the band eleven years ago. Guitarist Michael Hankel picked up where Andy Classen left off, and is clearly a capable successor.
The second track, “End of Time,” is definitely up there. It’s one of the faster songs of the twelve and chock-full of must-headbang moments. Classen growls, shrieks and sings with a conviction only a truly pissed off woman could possess, and the riffs really shine, especially around the 2:30 mark, where they’re allowed to be brought to the forefront in isolation.
