In this record the main reference to highlight is the continuity of the excellence of the work done in Kismet. That is, Rockslinger is a record of Rock that knows no borders or boundaries. A record that can be true heavy metal, aggressive, daredevil, and also fragile, uncovered and intimate, while it drinks from gothic rock and prog metal musical references. That turns out to be a feature that PhaZer carry from the previous album and reinforce it on Rockslinger.
The best tribute that can be made on Rockslinger and PhaZer is that no one ever knows how will sound the next song. In this particular case, I've Been Shot superbly opens Rockslinger, a song with dark and gothic trends and closes with Lil' Devil, a cover of the legendary The Cult, a name that remains present in the band's influences. By the way, there are many surprises, in particular the instrumental Spermatogenesis, which can join in the same song the Iron Maiden galloping riffs with the progressive school of Dream Theater or so My Treasure a sensational acoustic song with some bluesy feeling. Dear Foe is a track of pure metal, strong, powerful and remarkable, with well muscled and pulled guitars and a strong rhythm section that contrasts with a catchy chorus, and On The Road enters through grove metal fields with something southerner on the middle.
With an increasingly marked personality, PhaZer disclaim once again as one of the greatest names of Portuguese Rock. Technique, strength and creativity are the adjectives that best suit and Rockslinger back, if such was needed, to prove that again. "
