    Translated from the original French

    WATCHMEN is one of those very good WM bands that went unnoticed. It is only recently that WATCHMEN was discovered by the specialist press, thanks to a fairly impressive 8-track demo. If you are tuned in to Dio, Bon Jovi and Cinderella, then WATCHMEN is for you!! WATCHMEN's excellent vocals are largely influenced by Ronnie James Dio, which means that tracks such as "Kingdom Come" or "Fear No Evil" can only recall Dio. WATCHMEN uses keyboards abundantly ("Christian Soldier"), but do not run away... They know how to use them. And even if the band is obviously aiming at the Top 40 ("The Healer"), WATCHMEN is a very good commercial heavy band. The sound of the demo is excellent (there are no other words); professional cover, lyrics, and everything else!!! I want more!!!
