Ever since Saratoga released their album Secretos y Revelaciones in 2009, fans of Spanish heavy metal have been eagerly anticipating the return of the four piece from Madrid; waiting with bated breath to see which direction they would take next. Here in 2012, the band has finally released their ninth album, Nemesis, upon the world. While the album may not quite live up to the reputation of Secretos y Revelaciones, there's plenty here for fans of the genre to enjoy, with loads of surprises along the way to satisfy those who crave a little more than just another clone of their past releases. In fact, Nemesis is the most varied album of the band's 20-year-long career, with influences stretching from the expected heavy/power metal to progressive metal and even old-school thrash.
