This band put out an EP a few years ago, which I never heard, but this is their proper debut album. This is an Aussie band that kind of sounds Greek or Italian, with that vibe of Hellenic True Metal you get from bands like Battleroar, Wotan, Holy Martyr or Visigoth. This is all about rolling crunch, long songs, and that definite epic vibe that harks back to classic Manowar. The production is a bit laid-back, without the heaviness I would like on the guitars, and while the riffs are good, they don't really stand out that much. Vocalist Denny Blake—who is also vocalist for blackened pirate crew Cauldron Black Ram(!)—lays down a decent performance, though he doesn't really do anything extraordinary. Overall I find this enjoyable but unambitious, not really trying to do anything other bands have not already done, and done better. See below for more reviews... ↓ |
