His performance is a tour de force, drawing comparisons to legends like Tom Araya and Ian Gillan, yet standing in a class all it's own. The album's dynamic range-from the thrash-driven "The King Is Dead" to the melodic epic "Winds of War"-showcases Rivera's ability to balance power with nuance, making A Distant Thunder an essential listen for any true metalhead.This reissue not only preserves the original album's legacy but enhances it, with Scott Waters' exceptional layout work offering a visual feast of vintage and rare band photos that capture the essence of Helstar's heyday.
