<b>Iron Curtain</b> is essentially a speed metal band formed back in 2007 and released 2 albums so far, <b>Road to Hell</b> and <b>Jaguar spirit</b>. Now three years after the second full length, these Spanish quartet are back with another dose of genuine 80s speed heavy metal. <b>Guilty as charged</b> will be out the next <b>14th October via Pure Steel Records</b>. In the meantime you can check out their single W<b>ild and Rebel</b> from their Youtube Channel:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As mentioned their style is a perfect constructed<b> speed metal, with influences from Motorhead and Iron Maiden to Accept</b> backed with catchy gig ready choruses. Good example of that is the first track<span style="color: orange;"><b> Into the Fire</b></span>, submerging the listener to the true sound of Iron Curtain: fast paced and headbanging shot of adrenaline. Notice here a perfect Lemmy style on the vocals at some points. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These accelerated paradise becomes contagious to the rest of the album, <span style="color: orange;"><b>Lion's Breath</b></span> and <span style="color: orange;"><b>Take it back</b></span> are a good proof of the best of the record and you will feel like going into the pit and scream those choruses out loud. Instrumental are in remarkable harmony and guitar virtue are at 50/50 leadership with vocals and rhythm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Relentless</span></b> start as a change of pace with a mid tempo song, and not a doubt this shot sounds like Accept from start to finish; voice, drum beats, guitars and even the structure of the song is made to sound like the German heroes. A run of the mill track but always enjoyable to listen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The album won't let you down at this point, as the best track is about to start: <span style="color: orange;"><b>Iron Price</b></span> combines very Iron Maiden'ish riffs with the best of Mike's vocal styles. Fast and lighter track, with really straightforward and catchy sections being followed by <span style="color: orange;"><b>Outlaw</b></span> and <span style="color: orange;"><b>Wild&Rebel</b></span>, continuing the raw and fast strategy with back vocals that will catch your attention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tittle track <b><span style="color: orange;">Guilty as Charged</span></b> follows in velocity but increases in vocal melody, even bringing the band style to the early eighties, when the NWOBHM exploded like Big Bang; definitely one of the best songs of the album and letting the last song continue the same path of its preview shot: <b><span style="color: orange;">Turn the Hell On</span></b> makes the best of the riff melodies combining awesomely good with the back vocals, and bringing up one of the most catchy bridges and choruses of the band, being well structured and leaving the listener hungry for more... In my case I just restarted the album for my second listen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can say <b>Iron Curtain</b> just nailed it with this record, <b>Guilty as Charged</b> is very solid and well produced, being raw and sharp in style combined with a crystal clear production. If you like true speed metal obviously you will love this band and my suggestion for you: get the album because you will really enjoy it. It's clear the likes of these Spanish band, and <b>they use their influences in a perfect combination to generate their own sound, and that sound is really well created in this headbanging electric gem,</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: #141414; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24.2667px;">Leather Heart</b><span style="background-color: #141414; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24.2667px;"> are a </span><b style="background-color: #141414; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24.2667px;">classic heavy metal band from Madrid (Spain)</b><span style="background-color: #141414; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24.2667px;"> formed in 2008, </span>now they just released their first full length called<b> Comeback</b>, the evolution and improvements in the sound is more than evident, <b>guitars now have more presence and the instrumental parts in the album are sophisticated and you couldn’t believe this is a debut album at all, these guys have the experience of bands with more than three albums in their backs.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In terms of composition in general the <b>tracks got a more complex structure with changes of rhythm</b> in songs like <b><span style="color: orange;">The Crow</span></b> or the tittle track <b><span style="color: orange;">Comeback</span></b> to name a few, and <b>always moving between Judas Priest and Queensryche but with touches of Dokken at some point and an undeniable influence of Dio and Glenn Hughes</b> on the voice, you can check the<b> awesome cover of Black Sabbath hit <span style="color: orange;">Danger Zone</span>.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Generally <b>the album moves in a mid to fast paced tracks</b>, songs like <b><span style="color: orange;">Destiny</span></b> is a clear highlight of the band’s sound and also is <b>one of the best of the album as the mid paced pounding drums mixes in harmony with a perfect structure</b>, catchy 80s revival also seen in <b><span style="color: orange;">Rock n Roll Soul</span></b> with a<b> hard rocker essence very well created and a headbanging second half of the track.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Depths of space</span></b> and <span style="color: orange;"><b>Hopeless Sinner </b></span>are <b>two of the best composed tracks</b> as mid tempo in crescendo gems; its also good to mention the track<b><span style="color: orange;"> Leather Heart </span></b>is re recorded for the first album, with a <b>better production and more presence of the instrumentals</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leaving the best for the last, <b><span style="color: orange;">Restless</span></b>, the riff is going to take you straight to the mid 80s and just the <b>vocal parts are gonna blow out your mind</b>, great job on the structure and the details of the guitars, continuing with the ballad<b><span style="color: orange;"> For You</span></b>, with <b>good acoustic parts with ascending power being very intense, epic!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last shot and my favourite is the tittle track <b><span style="color: orange;">Comeback,</span></b> got a <b>sophisticated structure</b> full of changes of rhythm <b>going fast and slow surprisingly effective</b>, and also combining the<b> best sides of the album, the epic sensation and the passion and intensity of the mid tempo ballads, truly a masterpiece.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Taking the full concept of this record in one word it has to be a masterpiece and one of the best english sung albums ever made in Spain, they improved to a crystal clear production, Comeback got the power and the glory, its headbanging at all times rememoring the golden mid 80s inspiration. be aware of these guys, this is only the beginning of a band that bounds to rule the NWOTHM very soon!</b></div>

<b>Ambush </b>is a <b>Swedish </b>heavy metal band formed in 2013 creating a classic Heavy Metal style melting power metal touches; they soon released their first EP <b>Natural born killers</b>, that catapulted them on the first line of NWOTHM bands last year following with their first full length <b>Firestorm</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now <b>Ambush </b>just released their second full length called <b>Desecrator</b>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what to say about it, actually no words could describe better this album</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a <b>pure heavy metal masterpiece</b>, its not only the best material they’ve created,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Saying this, lets focus on <b>Ambush</b>, these guys combined clearly <b>Accept instrumentals</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>With impulsive touches and power speed metal vocal style</b> (sharp and clean, mid and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Superhigh pitched skills), all this combined with catchy choruses that will make the crowd</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy singing along, good examples are<b><span style="color: orange;"> Possesed by evil</span></b>, with galloping riffs and a <b>perfect</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Shot for live performance</b>, or <b><span style="color: orange;">Night of the defilers</span></b>, with genuine <b>Accept structure on guitars</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>And halfordish vocal style, just brilliant.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Master of the sea </span></b>and <b><span style="color: orange;">Chain reaction</span></b> combines the same key points but with a<b> remarkable vocal interpretation,</b> and awesome drum shots on the verses, as <b><span style="color: orange;">Desecrator,</span></b> the tittle track, bring you a the <b>best guitar Performances of the album,</b> just keep attention to the bridge and chorus guitar details, <b>outstanding</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Southstreet brotherhood</span></b> take the<b> hard rocker style to light, also with a catchy chorus and a crescendo s</b><b>tructure</b>, as<b><span style="color: orange;"> Rose of the dawn</span></b> and <b><span style="color: orange;">Faster</span></b> develop the s<b>trong and high speed and impulsive metal</b>, that's how to deliver the power and glory of true metal, but just leaving the best for the last track,<b><span style="color: orange;">The Seventh seal</span></b>, as a <b>slow to mid to fast paced masterpiece that goes in crescendo developing a solid and powerful vocal capacity</b>, everything on this track is fascinating, every sound is clockwork synchronized and in harmony, <b>all this to explode at the end with a fast paced ending of pure speed metal</b>, just perfect, honestly will drive you crazy if you are a classic heavy metal fan, just wow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall <b>Desecrator</b> by <b>Ambush</b> is their best work, with more solid compositions and better structured choruses, it's also really hard to improve but looking at their evolution as a band, <b>they are on the top and fresh to continue at this level, and i could say they are one the best albums of the year, and the best word to describe it is Masterpiece.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Finally the long awaited full length from the German Thrashers Running death is out, full of improvements from their last EP Call of extintion (2012), read that review following this<a href="http://metalheadsunion.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/review-ep-call-of-extinction-by-running.html"> link</a>.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What the listener will notice right after the first intro called <span style="color: orange;"><b>It begins</b></span> is the<b> high level of technical performance on the instrumentals</b> and that important<b> progressive thrash feeling</b>,<b><span style="color: orange;"> Hell on Earth</span></b> is just about this stuff, combining<b> fast and mid paced sections with an excellent job by guitars and drums</b> leaving vocals attacking with a high pitched harsh power; continuing with <b><span style="color: orange;">Psycho</span></b> on the same line of fast pace but clearly<b> more modern influence combined with strong mid tempo verses</b>, slightly darker and melodic at some points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Remote Controlled</span></b> develops diverse riff combinations including <b>palm muted galloping and melodic links with verses, creating headbanging parts and building a good chorus</b>, clearly improving what we've seen on this album up to now, Simon nailed it on this one on the vocal interpretation, continuing with <b><span style="color: orange;">Close minded,</span></b> reminding to those genuine Metallica riffs, being a clear influence for the band, <b>strong palm muted shots and really good lyrics.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Raging nightmare </span></b>explodes suddenly in a <b>galloping headbanging bomb, that's pure moshpit thrash on fire</b>, right in the middle of the album this is what a metalhead is waiting for, outstanding job on guitars and vocals, noticing the excellent production here is clearly better than their previous jobs, crystal clear drum details and bass performance,<b> one of the best shots of Running death</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The instrumental acoustic track <b><span style="color: orange;">Deludium</span></b> opens to <b><span style="color: orange;">Mercenary</span></b>, creating an<b> awesome crescendo straight away from the first second developing a mid thrash metal mayhem</b> including progressive shots on the guitars, on the line of the general band's style serving as a good highlight of the album; linking to <b><span style="color: orange;">Pray for death</span></b>, this time creating a <b>doom/evil sound and accelerating the machinery to good speed thrash metal territories</b>, it will call the attention of the listener in terms of composition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But at my point of view the best is yet to come with the last three tracks of the album, starting with <b><span style="color: orange;">Reduced</span></b> as a rhythm changing powerful shot, where <b>palm muted and melodies dance around a pure thrash metal machine on drums</b>, denoting a very intense vocal performance and enjoyable instrumentals all over the song; continuing without rest with the tittle track <b><span style="color: orange;">Overdrive</span></b> as an <b>old school thrash metal anthem</b> creating an awesome job on drums including double pedal parts, with an<b> insuperable Simon growling and singing in clean and sharp parts.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The last and best track of this album</b> goes to <b><span style="color: orange;">I see a Fire</span></b>, as the<b> increscendo is being built from the darkness and evil style in quasi doom metal influence but soon exploding in the best riff of the album</b> using palm muted parts in high sophisticated sections combined with excellent drum details, changing pace continuously until the epic end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>All in all Overdrive is a clear improvement and the best album up to date by Running Death, the production is crystal clear and the compositions are sophisticated, becoming a top class album by a professional thrash metal band.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blizzard hunter started in 2006 in Peru as Blizzard, releasing one demo in 2011 but soon to change name to Blizzard hunter from 2014, forging their first EP followed by this first full length Heavy metal to the vein.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blizzard hunter</b> combines a <b>straight forward power metal with old school speed metal </b>with changing rhythms and complex creations, guitars work fast and effective, melting hard rocking melodies into progressive feelings, really well harmonized with the rest of the band, vocals develop a mainly high pitched and clean style, being in control of every note, drawing a <b>large range from mid, sharp and aggressive to powerful and ultra high pitched screams.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Conqueror of destiny</span></b> is a good example of instrumental sign of the band as<span style="color: orange;"><b> I'm on my way</b></span> explodes In a headbanging shot, <b>awesome voice and really well composed being on of the highlights of the album.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Heavy metal to the vein </span></b>kicks in with some reminiscences of US metal, very well played on the vocals creating epic melodies and developing a good interpretation, followed by <b><span style="color: orange;">heart of fire (vampire hunter song)</span></b>, this one my friends is <b>one of those tracks that are considered masterpiece</b>, note the <b>perfect mixture between Queensrÿche, iron maiden and US metal</b>, the glorious virtue that Metal Inquisitor was successful is made as standard for blizzard hunter, it will call the attention of the listener to play again and again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Nemesis (feel my strength)</span></b> is where you can feel how wide can be the vocal range of this guy, as a mid fast tempo track <b>goes from sharp mid pitched and very well played voice, on the line of Bruce Dickinson</b>, but going beyond with clean and ultra high pitched scream "feel my strength", instrumentals works in harmony and demonstrates good palm muted and technical sections remembering those guitar duels by Tipton and downing from Judas priest; worked effectively with double pedal on drums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Ghost Rider</span></b> starts a bit as a break and more relaxed anthem with some more melodic and epic hints but going in crescendo with a enjoyable instrumental and addictive chorus, as<b><span style="color: orange;"> the murder</span></b> bangs like a pure old school true metal with even some<b> doom drippings on the verses</b>, another highlight of the band's sound, linked with<b><span style="color: orange;"> My revenge</span></b>, forging <b>classic speed thrash metal feelings, ready to break your necks showing the aggressive side of the band<span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>with clear Tyran Pace influence on the vocals, one of the best of the album.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Following the speed pace <b><span style="color: orange;">The Joke</span></b> bangs like a <b>sudden speed metal attack, all you know you'll find yourself banging your head</b>, remarkable instrumental performance all over and leading to the last track <b><span style="color: orange;">The final judgement</span></b>, <b>absolutely amazing job on the bass and overwhelming galloping riffs with good details on the drums performance as the vocals follow a relaxed but powerful melodic line.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What a great surprise with this debut album by Blizzard hunter, definitely the band did an awesome job, managing a really professional sound with an excellent production, every</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>member's performance is absolutely virtuous, if you are fan of Judas priest, Queensrÿche or iron maiden, (on the level of bands like Striker, Alltheniko or Air Raid) this will be a must have album!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Steel Raiser is a power heavy metal band from Italy founded in 2006 and releasing one demo and three full lengths to date, Race of steel (2008), Regeneration (2013) and Unstoppable (june 2015) with Iron Shield Records.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Steel raiser is <b>feed from the flames of 80s speed metal strength and 90s power metal melodies</b>, they got very much a combination of <b>influences from Judas Priest, Gamma Ray and Grave Digger</b>; impulsive speed metal always perfectly melted with strong German true metal, guitars are forceful using lots of palm muted patterns as the drums in general work awesomely well in harmony with the rest of instrumental, but the key point of this band is the <b>vocalist, the vocal range is immense, from low sharp with hints of Udo style through clean mid pitched sides on the melodic power metal style, and surprising the listener with sharp high pitched screams on the Halford line that will blow out your mind.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The album begins straight with a<b> fast paced and headbanging tune</b>, really well done on the verses, as the word<b><span style="color: orange;"> Inexorable </span></b>in the chorus will bring your fists up in the air, truly one of the highlights of the band's sound, as<b><span style="color: orange;"> Decapitator</span></b> explodes with chorus as intro, <b>mid to fast paced shot on the strategy line of German metal style</b>, remembering Grave Digger moments, as they use an addictive chorus really effectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Fast as the light </span></b>continues the metal madness as they develop <b>interesting power metal melodies with a remarkable job on the vocal performance,</b> clean and sharp changing constantly, creating a melodic chorus, long and effective; as one of the best tracks begin, <b><span style="color: orange;">Scent of madness</span></b>, creates a really catchy riff that harmonize perfectly with the<b> vocal performance</b>, that in fact is the<b> best of the album</b>, developing melodic clean parts and evolving to a sharp and very well played theatrical sections to create another effective chorus, all adorned with synth violins, <b>masterpiece</b> guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Continuing with the same strategy, <b><span style="color: orange;">Dreaming of you</span></b> kicks in with nice palm muted riffs and potent vocals that mixes with falsetto parts forging a dark atmosphere, following the power metal based chorus patterns, and continuing the action with <b><span style="color: orange;">Thousand blades</span></b>, with <b>airs of US metal in every note, epic and headbanging track from the first second</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Unstoppable</span></b> takes out the fury, <b>Judas priest style</b>, to develop <b>aggressive verses and a long restless chorus</b>, guitars are powerful and so the whole track, continuing with another catchy shot <b><span style="color: orange;">Mole breaker,</span></b> mixing grave digger and Wasp, really the chorus reminds me to Battlecruiser, but all on all <b>another top shot from Steel Raiser</b>, with probably <b>the most addictive chorus of the band</b>, following a simple and effective formula, Mole breaker!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">The last tears</span></b> is a mid tempo ballad that introduces <b>clear patterns from gothic sounds, on the vocal vibrato and also on melodies</b>, giving a <b>power -gothic metal touch,</b> and finally the last track is the<b> second version of <span style="color: orange;">Scent of madness</span></b>, which is the same excellent song we listened before but with <b>a change in the solo, the bassist come into scene to perform a more than prodigious bass solo, outstanding in every note.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Steel raiser</b> new album is forged from the <b>true metal and is gonna keep you banging your head from the beginning</b>, compositions are rich and different in every song which is something great because many bands use to keep a formula in every song but Steel Raiser managed to give a different touch in every track of the album, taking<b> influences from priest to maiden and gamma ray, jag panzer or accept</b>, Steel Raiser are back more solid and stronger than before, with an excellent production for what <b>can be one of the best albums of this year.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Few weeks ago I had the chance to interview Cobra, one of the new true metal bands that called my attention as one of the most promising new bands of the metal scene worldwide, so after having a well established second album and having toured Europe, it was an inflection point in their career to the top, and obviously Metalheads Union is not gonna miss the opportunity of having a chat with these guys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to check their second album review follow this link</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Hi guys how are you? Thank you all for your time!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Daniel, nice to be in contact again. Thanks for your interest in making a second interview to us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">First of all how were the band beginnings? Why did you choose Cobra as your band's name?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cobra was born ten years ago back in 2005 when Nito and Pochuck decided to create and play heavy metal band in a rough and aggressive way. They chose Cobra as the name of the band because of an old anime they use to watch as kids. Cobra is a lethal name, such as our intentions with rock and roll music.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Have Cobra evolved in any way from the first album to the second album? How could you describe the media feedback for both releases?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely. Cobra evolved in creating a solid album of heavy metal. This means not only having good songs, but delivering a unity of heavy metal: music, lyrics, artwork, ideas, and put together in order to have a blasting experience once you put play to the record.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When “Lethal Strike” was released in 2011, it didn’t have very much media attention as “To Hell” did last year and even nowadays did. The difference was that our first album had a poor promotion and distribution work. Now we are very conscious about the results of working those aspects of an album release.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">You got a very aggressive style even when adding that strong hard rock drippings, how could you describe the band's style and what makes it different of most of the new traditional heavy metal bands?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for the words. I could define Cobra’s style as a very intense heavy metal rock and roll music. About what makes us different between these new traditional bands, we don’t even consider ourselves part of these tag. We are only focused about been ourselves playing the kind of music we like. We don’t want to be like the bands we admire, we want to be as relevant as them with our music.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Which bands are the most influent for you? I'd like to know your individual preferences.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like artists that are intense with the music they make. The ones that comes to my mind right now would be Earth, The Stooges, Nirvana, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, The Wailers and Led Zeppelin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How is the true metal scene in Peru? Now that you played in Keep it true, how do you feel about it? How did the fans react to your sound?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peruvian metal scene is small, very underground if it’s compared to the European one. Our scene is very unorganized and informal but things are changing to better. Here the concerts are with bands of different metal styles, so it’s common for bands and bangers from here to be into heavy, black, death, doom or even psych and punk music.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep It True was a great experience. We never had that sensation to play in front of so many die hard heavy metal maniacs. People there really knows what metal music is about, I think they reacted very well, they could get the vibe and intention of the band. After playing there, I only want more of this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">The vocals that you do are really high pitched some times, changing from sharp to clean patterns, how do you manage to keep your voice while on tour?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to avoid cold drinks, smoke and cover always my neck during the tour. Although it’s enjoyable to be on the road having a good time, the best thing is always take care of your instrument.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tell me a special memory of this European tour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Waking up during different moments of the day and night inside the van while everyone else was sleeping. Looking at the other guys, our tour manager, the highway, the scenery and realizing that everything was real, that was actually happening. Living like that was everything I ever wanted, it was a great feeling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Are you working on the new album? If so, could you anticipate any information? What could the fans expect for the next full length?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now we are writing and creating new songs. We already know which songs will be part of our third album, but now we are working in two different productions. I hope soon we can have more news about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Any chance to visit the UK? What about Japan? If you could choose a country to play, which one could it be?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, we received a couple of offers to visit UK but distances didn’t match to go there. After the European tour we made contact with people involved in festivals and stuff not only in Europe but also in Asia, so let’s make things happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I could choose a country I would like to play in Japan, like Deep Purple did in 1972.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Finally guys could you send a message to your fans?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Beware to our next move, it might be lethal for your mind.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Thanks brothers and hope to see you soon on stage!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Toxic Shock</b> is a <b>thrash metal / crossover</b> band from <b>Belgium</b> formed in 2004 and releasing their first full length in <b>2013 called "Daily Demons"</b>and now they made a split album with <b>Iron Reagan</b> in 2015, <b>Iron Reagan</b>, from<b> Virginia,</b> started the metal path in 2012 an released two <b>full lengths in 2013 "Worse than dead" and "The tyranny of will" in 2014.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The split begins with <b>Toxic Shock</b>, taking the aggression to the next level<b> creating generally fast paced old school thrash rhythms</b>, with multiple changes of pace in <span style="color: orange;"><b>the survivalist</b></span>, delivering harsh and sharp mid high pitched vocals, <b>very much influenced by bands like Exodus or Razor</b>, well demonstrated in <b><span style="color: orange;">Singalong letdown</span></b>, <b>strong and fast with that visceral feeling of the mid 80s</b> true thrash metal, as their top shot kicks in, <b><span style="color: orange;">Monday is cancelled</span></b>, with <b>clear punk drippings on the verses and obviously headbanging from start to finish.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Iron Reagan</span></b> also develop that <b>thrash metal of non-stop headbanging, forging a late 80s,90s thrash metal</b>, more <b>melodic and high pitched on the vocals</b>, guitars are rich in composition, more <b>influenced by D.R.I., Municipal Waste, or even Gama Bomb</b>:<b> all three tracks are breathtaking and ultra fast, demonstrating a full power thrashing madness in every note, great job.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Overall a very effective split of two true thrash metal new bands</b>, while <b>toxic shock delivers headbanging old school traditional shots, iron Reagan forged a bay area thrash with ultra fast atomic bombs,</b> the whole split is well produced and even though its not on the sophisticated or technically complex side,<b> will make you break your necks from the very first second.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lethal saint</b> was formed in <b>2006 in Cyprus, releasing their first album in 2010 and signing with Pure Steel Records releasing their second shot called WWIII last 20th march of 2015.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The band heralds the <b>classic heavy metal combined with sophisticated structures, taken from drippings of thrash and power, creating modern tunes but also keeping the essence of what true metal is about.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The album opens with the intro <b><span style="color: orange;">the curse</span></b>, leading to <b><span style="color: orange;">Merciless Decay</span></b>, as a mid tempo pure heavy metal shot with changes of pulse in the chorus and<b> good influences from Judas Priest, as a virtuous drumbeats with double pedal introduces the listener to <span style="color: orange;">Prophecy of war</span></b>, going increscendo forging a really good chorus, the <b>vocals works excellent as the sharp angry style explodes in high pitched moments</b>, also guitars draws well performed parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Chaos rising</span></b> keep the same strategy used previously but creating really intense sections and interesting changes of rhythm, definitely one of the highlights of the album, linked with <b><span style="color: orange;">Order to Defend</span></b>, where the listener is witness of<b> one of the best performed vocal parts of the album</b>, the interpretation of the highs and lows, is just outstanding, great one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next in line is by my point of view one of the best songs of the band, after the intro<b><span style="color: orange;"> Omen</span></b> with the dark atmospheric melodies,<b><span style="color: orange;"> Thorns of existence</span></b> explodes in a true metal bomb, <b>headbanging as hell</b>, mid fast paced song with high pitched parts on vocals, the chorus is astonishing, with good details on the background guitars and even growling vocal details at the end; as <b><span style="color: orange;">The Alliance</span></b> kicks in, remembering some Judas priest tunes, the ascending intensity is remarkable, leading to a well created chorus, but nothing much more special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The headbanging moments come back with the fast paced <b><span style="color: orange;">Ascend to power</span></b>, the structure is similar in essence, adding good power metal drippings and <b>awesome drums and guitar solo performance</b>; improving in the next shot, mid paced intense anthem,<b><span style="color: orange;"> Spoils of the past,</span></b> with good harmony on the instrumental and well performance on the bass parts; to finalise with the tittle track <b><span style="color: orange;">WWIII</span></b>, probably one of their best shots and <b>very much influenced by Grave Digger style, very straight chorus that make the listener to sing-along, guitar are also strongly played, forceful voice also outstandingly performed.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lethal Saint</b> forged a<b> really high quality album, </b>the production is clean and well finished, song creations are remarkable but very similar compositions can make it a bit of a run of the mill feeling, but to say the truth, <b>the band created some gems to be remembered, highlights like Thorns of existence and WWIII are top shots; Lethal saint are here to stay!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eldertale is a melodic folk metal band from Ukraine formed in 2005 but being more active since 2012, releasing their first EP in June 2014, they deliver a <b>pure folk pagan metal, adding some neoclassical drippings and powerful moments, creating in general rich structures in terms of composition as melodic instrumentals and growling vocals are the common strategy for this headbanging EP.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The band break the ice with<b><span style="color: orange;"> Exile</span></b>, as the choirs mark the <b>powerful entry of complex drumbeats and melodic background </b>with an excellent composition on the verses, really intense and good crescendo part at the end; <b>this track defines perfectly the band's sound</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Land of Old</span></b> might be <b>one of the best tracks of this style I've ever listened</b>, it starts with an instrumental orchestrated melody, the<b> composition is outstanding.</b> Then this intense shot goes <b>increscendo, adding army marching rhythms on drums</b>, to literally <b>explode in a headbanging anthem</b>, vocals and instrumental are in perfect harmony and the transitions between changes virtuously made, the lyrics also are powerful and the melodic growling voice are the best in the EP, also<b> remarkable rhythms on the drums with drippings of power, thrash and death metal</b>, bass is also excellent on the solo; the perfect highlight of what this band is capable of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally the EP closes with<b><span style="color: orange;"> Time of ancient</span></b>, mid tempo<b> traditional folk pagan metal</b>, as seen on the rest of the material, this track<b> follows the path of adding melodic power metal structures, piano and orchestrated parts</b> are, again, amazingly well composed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Eldertale first EP got a crystal clear production, it's headbanging from start to finish, the compositions are sophisticated including catchy melodies and awesome orchestrated parts, drums should have more presence next time, but the final result is overwhelming, just can't wait for the full length!</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thunderheart</b> finally released their debut album last February by the hand of Killer Metal Records, the Spanish band delivers a <b>good classic heavy-power metal with influences from US metal </b>bands like<b> Jag Panzer,drippings of speed metal like the Germans Warrant and catchy strong and straight choruses bringing memories from Grave digger</b>; but definitely these guys develop the <b>genuine sound of Steelhorse, previous band from the guitarist Willy Gascon</b>, that <b>encapsulates the essence of Judas priest, Iron maiden and Accept among other Titans of heavy metal</b>, the vocal style by <b>Javier Pastor Is powerful and melodic, using mid to high pitched tunes and generally on the clean side.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">New horizons</span></b> introduces the album as an instrumental melodic headbanging shot linked with <b><span style="color: orange;">Show them our fire</span></b>, developing awesome guitar riffs in a fast paced hit, <b>guitars are remarkably good on the melodies behind the vocal parts</b>, continued by the tittle track<b><span style="color: orange;"> Night of the warriors</span></b>, mid tempo act with a <b>really epic bridge and catchy chorus, awesome palm muted guitar parts in one of the best highlights of the Album.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mid paced addictive riff of <b><span style="color: orange;">Thunderheart</span></b> will make you bang your head from the first second, <b>vocals here are brilliant</b>, from the high pitched verses to the straight chorus, made to scream in the gigs, one of the best compositions of the band, as it continues with <b><span style="color: orange;">Concrete Jungle,</span></b> another mid tempo shot where the <b>band strikes back with epic bridges and a chorus that draws awesome melodies, one of the best acts, of those to be played continuously.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Killing my fears</span></b> evolves with a fast paced rhythm, <b>simple but effective riffs combined with a well crafted chorus</b>, effective and strong strategy followed by the mid tempo <b><span style="color: orange;">Rules of a lie</span></b>, with epic riffs and a crescendo structure, the<b> instrumentals stay more static melodically as the leadership are remarked on the vocal part.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Bulletproof </span></b>continues the 80s heavy metal sound revival in another mid tempo anthem, well performed on the vocals and also good harmony between the instrumentals, perfect song for a gig; as <b><span style="color: orange;">I'll always be there for you </span></b>accelerates the machinery in an <b>outstanding riff work and melodic vocals</b>, another top hit of the band where everybody will bang the heads, good drum parts with remarkable changes of rhythms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now its the turn of one of the key tracks of the band,<b><span style="color: orange;"> rise or fall</span></b>, the last shot of this album Night of the warriors, they actually perform all the styles developed throughout the album, <b>pure classic heavy metal riffs with addictive choruses and excellent bridges that make the listener rise the fist in the air, shouting rise or fall, impressive!.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Night of the warriors</b> is the first taste of <b>Thunderheart</b>, and to tell you the truth, <b>this debut album sounds really professional, the compositions are well crafted in every single note and they know how to catch the attention of the listener</b>, tracks like <b>rise or fall, concrete jungle or thunderheart are good demonstrations of their sound, and excellent lessons of true metal</b>;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thunderheart have jumped to the top of the Spanish heavy metal scene with the first album, good job!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

After releasing their first album with Cruz del Sur, Sacral Rage and their Illusions in infinite Void are getting known worldwide by true metalheads, so finally I had the chance to have an interview with guitarist Marios and vocalist Dimitris. If you'd like to check the review please <a href="http://metalheadsunion.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/review-of-album-illusions-in-infinite.html">click here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Hi guys! Thanks for your time and also thanks to Jan from sure shot worx for making it possible.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">First of all lets talk about the history of Sacral Rage, why did you come up with that name? What different metal styles have you been influenced when the band was formed?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Greetings to all of you!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started on the last month of 2011 and since then we have 2 official releases and a couple of demos/promos. The mini Lp “Deadly bits of iron fragments” by Eat Metal Records in 2012 and the full length “Illusions In Infinite Void” in 2015 by Cruz Del Sur on cd and Underground Power Records on vinyl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can liken the name as follows: The “Sacral” element stems from the darkness, paranoia and madness we breathe while the “Rage” arises from our lethal speed and rhythm attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The style and vision haven’t changed although it evolved a lot. We still bow down to bands like Judas Priest, Rush, Crimson Glory, Watchtower, Nasty Savage. Just like the “old” days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Seeing the result of this combination of styles, what bands could be the major influence for Sacral Rage?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too hard to answer that. The only thing I can tell you is that all of our influences, subconsciously rise through our songs and we don’t have a certain band in mind when composing stuff. Of course there are certain bands that we have in the back of our minds but As much as we are influenced By Rush and Mercyful Fate evenly Annihilator and Death made the same impact on us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Not only you covered Mercyful fate, Sacral Rage heralds that influence all over the new album, among some US metal or power metal of course, when composing the instrumentals, did you have in mind to sound like king diamond or was it something that evolved automatically at the time of each composition?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The latter I would say. As said before we don’t try to sound specifically like one or two bands of our influences. We want this to come naturally out of our songs. Of course we knew that certain parts had the King and Mercyful vibe but we didn’t force it. To tell you the truth, we are extremely horny when something like that happens not only with the King but generally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How was the process of creation of the new album? Was it easier now that you got more experience, than the first Ep?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the contrary it was way more difficult because we had to overcome ourselves. I believe we achieved that by far. When we composed Deadly bits we didn’t had people expecting our album so it was an easier process. But now we had to satisfy both ourselves and the listener who knew what we offered through our Mini Cd. Also all of our recent songs are way more complex, weird arrangements. This in itself requires more focus and “Discipline”.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How is the general feedback from the media?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very good judging by the fact that the press towards new bands is very circumspect. The only thing is that many are confused regarding the style we are playing and our influences. You can read in some zines that we are playing US metal while in others Heavy metal, Prog Metal , Thrash metal etc. The average of the reviews is great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">The vocal parts are really high pitched at some parts, sometimes pure theatrical performance and really powerful also at some points, are you happy with the result?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeap , I am extremely happy because Dimitris really surpassed himself both in terms of composition and performance .He has a unique voice and just like the rest of the band, he has his own style without copying any of his mentors. Especially in our times where everyone tries to sing like Dickinson, Dio or whoever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How do you feel when performing live such a large range of vocal quality in terms of low to high pitched style?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is always a stress about my throat's condition. For this kind of vocals it should be at a perfect state. But whether it is or not when I let myself into madness the result is always the same, screams coming out from outer space, high pitch terrorism destroying the stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">I think one of your best tracks is en cima del mal, but the song that defines your sound better is Lost chapter E: Amarna's reign, what's your favourite song from the new album?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again this is too hard to tell because it is really too soon to answer that. If you put a gun in my head though, I would probably say the twins (Sutratma, Amarna’s). The thing about En cima is that this is a kind of a standard heavy metal tune (catchy chorus , normal structure etc). So that’s why many people say that this is their favorite. I really love this song but I believe that there are others that deepens more as far as composition, instrumentation concerns. Amarna’s on the other hand has all of our elements. It is dark, progy, technical, extreme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How is it going with the tour after the release of Illusions in infinite void?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have already been added to Belgium’s Heavy sound festival’s line up and we are scheduling some extra shows in Greece. We are on the talks for a tour but it’s too soon to tell anything. We are open to play everywhere, so spread the word!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How do you feel when you see that bands like Fist, Ostrogoth or The Rods are going to share stage with you?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling AWE!! We are extremely proud to share the stage with these legends. It never really crossed our minds that there would be a day that we would support these bands. We have to be prepared and play a good show haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Which band could you choose to share stage with, in the future?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well: Watchtower, Nasty Savage, Armored Saint. Fuckin’A !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Can you tell me which country is your favourite for a concert?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we have only played in Greece and Cuprous so there couldn't be a proper answer to this. I am sure though that the English grounds will be killer for a gig!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Describe your most special moment from the last tour.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although we didn’t actually toured but made one-off gigs, I would choose the show we did with Jag Panzer, there were lots of energy, and it was really intense and also met our heroes (Really cool guys). Also the Power of the Night Fest in Cuprous was really great experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Are you gonna hit the UK in this upcoming tour?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We really would like to do so!!! We know there are many people who dig us but we haven’t spoken with a promoter yet. Time will come to visit the island and taste the grounds who gave birth to Heavy Metal!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Are you getting better promotion now that you signed with Cruz del Sur records?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far so good they say. Right From the beginning of our course with Cruz, we can see lots of interest for us. So I guess he is the right man! He is doing great job really. Our madness has been spread almost everywhere and this is thanks to Cruz del sur.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Bands like mausoleum gate or convent guilt are also with Cruz del Sur, do you know them?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh yeah! Mausoleum Gate did a great job with their full length. For Convent Guilt, I am not familiar but going to check them asap. Also I met the guys from Magister Templi. Another great Cruz del sur band and their singer is a great guy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">There are many new bands next KIT that will be reference for the true metal scene, Cobra, Mausoleum gate and Sacral Rage are among this bands, how do you feel about playing in this festival?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we first heard that we are playing at KIT, we couldn’t believe it. It is a huge Honor for us that the headquarters at KIT chose us as the new act that’s playing. This is the biggest possibly underground festival in the more classic oriented sound. The lineup is killer as always so we will try to give the most of our madness and craze to all of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Finally please send a message to your fans!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Salutes to all of you and we hope to make you part of our madness soon enough!! Thanks for this interview.</b></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Incursed</b> is an <b>epic folk metal band</b> formed in <b>2007 in Bilbao</b>, Spain. The band released three full lengths, debuting in <b>2009 with Morituri</b> and followed by a great title called<b> Fimbulwinter</b> in<b> 2012</b>; then two years later, last<b> december 2014</b>,<b> Incursed </b>released their last and best album up to date, <b>Elderslied</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Incursed </b>style comes from the <b>melodic pagan and folk sounds</b> in its essence, using <b>orchestrated parts</b> all over and developing really intense<b> epic power metal compositions with instrumentally complicated structures</b>,the <b>vocal parts swaps from clean melodic style to growling sections</b>; got <b>influences from bands like ensiferum or Caladmor</b>, <b>guitars deliver the powerful melodies with technical sections brilliantly combined with sophisticated drums.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Song of the ancient</span></b> takes us to this <b>melodic folk metal journey, as an orchestrated instrumental</b> intro that evolves metalized in <b><span style="color: orange;">Heart of yggdrasil</span></b>, being a perfect highlight of the band's style, remarkable compositions on the verses and <b>powerful chorus made with clean vocals</b>, following the act with the acoustic notes of <b><span style="color: orange;">Raging wyverns</span></b>, soon to be <b>epically transformed in a highly intense slow-mid tempo anthem highly accelerated at some parts.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">The wild hunt</span></b> heralds <b>one of the best riffs of the album,</b> with a remarkable job on the vocals, going high pitched growing and clean style on the chorus, amazing also on the double pedal drums and followed by <b><span style="color: orange;">Beer bloodbath</span></b>, forging another <b>catchy melodic riff of those of headbanging and moshpiting, awesome job at the end with the in-crescendo rhythmical bomb</b> leading to <b><span style="color: orange;">Tidal waves</span></b>, good riffs and headbanging pace in growling vocals, followed by <span style="color: orange;"><b>Jötnar</b></span>, with <b>ascending composition, adding nice violin background melodies in one of the best created songs of the band, theatrically brilliant</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the instrumental interlude of<b><span style="color: orange;"> A fateful glare</span></b>, the action literally explodes with <b><span style="color: orange;">Lady Frost</span></b>, another <b>lesson of the band's sound in full power</b>, fast paced headbanging bomb with breathtaking compositions on the verses and melodic chorus, the guitar performance is remarkable combined with the keyboard solo, followed by <b><span style="color: orange;">The undying flame</span></b>, forging some <b>classic folk melodies</b>, in an <b>intense slow mid tempo ballad of well performed growling vocals and clean styled chorus</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The classic opera tunes of <b><span style="color: orange;">Sauren Lurraldea</span></b> are <b>suddenly boosted with symphonic power metal soul</b>, good rhythm changes and beautiful melodies, with good details on the background keyboard as the next track kicks in, <b><span style="color: orange;">One among a million</span></b>, increscendo patterns with good harmony on the instrumentals, excellent details on the drum performance and really intense vocal sections, following the same good strategies used previously, <b>finalising with an astonishing ending</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Promise of hope</span></b> gives the <b>final touch to the album in a instrumental melodic anthem, including orchestrated sections and choir backgrounds crafted at perfection, simply epic.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Incursed really worked hard to create an excellent album</b>, <b>Elderslied is sophisticated and perfect instrumentally</b>, combining very well folk and pagan with power metal including symphonic, neoclassical drippings and also death metal shots, really well elaborated album that, without innovating, will be one of the best of the year on their genre.</div>

<b>Prowler is a classic heavy metal band from Germany formed in 2008, and released their first EP Hard Pounding heart in 2012, Finally Prowler released their debut album last 27th February with Pure Steel Records, under the name of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00QSRRC28/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B00QSRRC28&linkCode=am2&tag=metalheadsuni-21&linkId=PNFA5J6FW6EZQUFJ">Stallions Of Steel</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=metalheadsuni-21&l=am2&o=2&a=B00QSRRC28" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Prowler</b> develops a <b>classic new wave of British heavy metal </b>sound in every single note, reminding of bands like <b>Angel witch, Fist or Praying Mantis at their first line up</b>, mid to fast paced rhythms generally with straight riffs and catchy choruses by a well played high pitched and clean vocal style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Motorcycle of love </span></b>kicks in and demonstrates what the band is all about in their mid tempo pace with <b>Saxon reminiscences</b>, remarkable guitar work on the riffs as the<b> speed of sound accelerates to a pure speed classic heavy metal</b> with <span style="color: orange;"><b>Freedom</b></span>, <b>guitars are awesome specially in the solo</b>, great teamwork with the drums making it <b>headbanging all the way</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Mind and might </span></b>hits with a<b> killer mid tempo rhythm and one of the best choruses of the band </b>including some good drum details, as<b><span style="color: orange;"> Stallions of steel </span></b>goes increscendo in <b>another classic NWOBHM lesson becoming a good highlight of the album's sound.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Mexican Story</span></b> heralds <b>the best progression on the vocals, also the rhythms are really addictive and in general the intensity is boosted with power and glory,</b> being in my opinion the best track of the band, as the riffs of <b><span style="color: orange;">Out of the night </span></b>take you to bang your head in a very <b>strong and straight shot of pure traditional heavy metal,</b> well composed bridge and better guitar riffs all over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Paranoia</span></b> explodes in another<b> speed metal headbanging bomb with good drum details</b> and really good composition on the vocals as <b><span style="color: orange;">Prowler</span></b> continues the mid tempo action with <b>galloping, changing riffs and a really intense chorus.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">A Maiden's Funeral </span></b>contains some <b>interesting riff performances with technical points</b> on the teamwork of guitar and drums, remarkable the composition after the second half of the track, <b>the crescendo part is outstanding.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Good album by Prowler</b>, they managed really well the old school sound of the NWOBHM, <b>will be a must have for any metalheads familiarized with bands like Angel Witch, Saxon or Holocaust;</b> could be better produced, drums need more presence and generally the band need to work hard for the next album, but for sure, this is a <b>pure genuine classic heavy metal band that will have lots to talk from now on!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally they releasing their first full length the next 10th of March, and the Greeks are on the right path with<b> influences from the technical speed metal characterized from bands like Agent steel or Oliver magnum</b> but with a <b>dark symphonic essence all along the album</b>, bringing memories from <b>King Diamond</b>, also <b>progressive and thrash metal drippings</b> allow <b>Sacral Rage</b> to create their sound effectively; the guitars and drums work very well using<b> technical details with symphonic melodies and palm muted riffs together with complex drum patterns</b>, combined with a high pitched vocals, <b>clean in general but without hesitating making it sharp and aggressive at some points</b>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The intro<b><span style="color: orange;"> Harbringer</span></b> opens the album to explode in <b>one of the best tracks of the band,</b> <b><span style="color: orange;">En cima del Mal</span></b>, as the <b>technical palm muted guitars bangs in a totally headbanging track</b>, fast paced speed metal combining changes of vocal styles, sharp low and clean high pitched shots leading to a powerful chorus to follow with <b><span style="color: orange;">Lost chapter E, Sutratma </span></b>introducing <b>mid tempo galloping, progressive drum and guitar parts</b> changing to thrashy and dark melodic sections in a more theatrical song linked with <b><span style="color: orange;">Panic in the Urals (burning skies)</span></b> where the <b>thrash styled instrumentals take over the clean vocal style,</b> the interpretation here is outstanding as it brings you to the headbanging action with multiple rhythm changes even adding some<b> Iron maiden drippings.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Waltz in madness</span></b> explodes in a<b> speed thrash metal with ascending intensity including ultra high pitched vocal parts</b>, changing rhythms constantly with remarkable performance on the drums, followed by <b><span style="color: orange;">Into mental east</span></b>, mid tempo <b>progressive influenced instrumental track </b>with virtuous guitar riffs and technical drumbeats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Continuing the good level of technical instrumentals is the turn of<b><span style="color: orange;"> Inner sanctum asylum</span></b>, <b>good bass touches here as the theatrical act of the vocalist enrich the experience with low pitched and sharp parts</b> as a <b><span style="color: orange;">Tyrannous revolt</span></b> explodes like a <b>palm muted speed power metal masterpiece,</b> the harmony between guitars and vocal melodies on verses are exceptional as the <b>visceral restless pace reminds to Tyran pace.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Lost chapter E Amarna's reign</span></b> is the last in line and it <b>heralds the speed metal velocity, the composition also evokes the powerful speed thrash melodies,with dark symphonic sections and outstanding vocal qualities</b>, basically encapsulate the band's sound; but don't stop playing this track after the silence starts, there is a<b> hidden Instrumental part at the end</b> (after the minute 10) where the band demonstrates also a <b>short good lesson of oldschool doom metal</b> to end the album.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Illusions in infinite void</b> will delight true metal fans of King diamond and Judas priest,<b> they got the power and aggression that makes you jump to the mosh pit, boosted with remarkable technical instrumentals and complex and impressive compositions.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Evil invaders</b> are coming back with their debut album <b>Pulses of pleasure</b>, available in march, and I can say now that I had the chance to analyse it on detail, this album just<b> improved what I was expecting</b> from these guys! The speed thrash metal developed on their first EP (<a href="http://metalheadsunion.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/review-ep-evil-invaders-evil-invaders.html">check the review here</a>) has <b>evolved to a more genuine speed metal, aggressive In every single note</b>; <b>Evil Invaders</b> built their unique<b> sound from</b> two pillars,<b> Iron Maiden and Judas Priest</b>, adding to the mixture a combination of the <b>most violent sides of Razor meeting Venom</b> on one hand <b>and Agent Steel meeting the walls of Jericho from Helloween</b> on the other, literally <b>creating a wild beast ready to break your necks.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The album starts with<b><span style="color: orange;"> fast, loud and rude</span></b>, remembering the first notes of Driving fast, after the first awesome growling to high pitched scream, the <b>headbanging action explodes in a pure speed metal shot, excellent chorus with good details on the drums</b>, and thrashy elements on the vocals, also remarkable job on the guitars solo, continuing with the tittle track<b><span style="color: orange;"> Pulses of pleasure</span></b>,a <b>violent speed metal attack ignited by a memorable vocal intro</b>, chorus is outstanding and powerful and also the vocal qualities changing from growling to sharp high pitched screams are incredible, being <b>one of the keys of the success of Evil invaders.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Eclipse of mind</span></b> continues the <b>restless headbanging act with a crescendo structure and details of Oliver magnum and Judas priest</b>, good drum technique and guitar details, leading to <b><span style="color: orange;">Siren </span></b>also ascends in intensity to a <b>galloping mid fast tempo shot with good theatrical details on the vocals</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second half of the album improves what we have seen of the band up to date, <b><span style="color: orange;">Stairway to insanity</span></b> heralds a<b> powerful melodic speed metal with influences of Iron Maiden meeting Skull Fist</b>, the<b> composition of this track is awesome</b>, even <b>some parts of the guitar and fast paced rhythms reminds the listener to the best times of Agent Steel</b>, being a good highlight of the album and continued by another top track, <b><span style="color: orange;">Shot to paradise</span></b>, exploding with <b>addictive headbanging</b> <b>riffs </b>and leaded by the<b> best vocal parts of the album</b>, the <b>violent attitude on the style and every sound this guy can develop is outstanding</b>, continuing without a break with <b><span style="color: orange;">Venom</span></b>, <b>exceeding the expectatives once again with a good technical track with great harmony on the instrumentals and a really catchy chorus.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the speed metal feast isn't finished yet, <b>the last and best track of the band follows after the intro<span style="color: orange;"> Blinded</span>, <span style="color: orange;">Master of Illusion</span></b><span style="color: orange;"> </span>encapsulate everything the band have developed, <b>the impulsive aggressive style melted with melodic guitars and the best chorus that will make you scream master of illusion fist in the air to play it all again.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall <b>Pulses of pleasures is by far the best album I've listened in long time</b>, it has all ingredients to take you to the mosh pit,<b> its aggressive in every sense combining the most impulsive sounds from the power, speed and thrash metal, forging an unique sound that the </b><b>listener will recognise as Evil Invaders</b> <b>sign</b> once this album sees the light;<b> it's also technical, contains catchy and addictive elements denoting a wild attitude at the same time</b>, note that <b>tracks like Fast, loud and rude, Shot to paradise and Master of illusion will be classics with the time, from my side, Pulses of pleasure is a true metal masterpiece.</b></div>

Dust Bolt just finished the Tour with Obituary and Mpire of Evil, and I had the chance to interview Lenny.<br /><br /><a href="http://metalheadsunion.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/review-of-album-awake-riot-by-dust-bolt.html">You can check the review of the album Awake the riot here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Hi guys, its always a pleasure to have the chance to interview you, thank you and thanks to </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Napalm Records for making it possible! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you as well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">First of all, tell me some details about the band, why did you choose the name dust bolt? How </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">could you resume the time since you got together as a band and the evolution until the release </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">of your first record in 2010?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dust Bolt actually formed in 2006. We were some thirteen year old kids going to school together and developing taste for heavy music by time together. We had a silly German name at first but needed a new one for the release of our demo in 2010. Somebody came up with Dust Bolt which we liked because it doesn't have a specific meaning yet and one can interpret his own ideas into the name and the music. That makes people think about the name. And the band. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time since then has been overwhelming. We experienced so much already, visited so many places and got to know so many great people and are able to do what we enjoy most: play music and share it with people. It´s somehow a dream that we live but also hard hard work, every day. But there is so much more to come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">I see you got some Kreator and slayer influences, what bands are the most influent for dust</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">bolt?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"></span></b>I think you already named them haha ;) But we don´t relate on specific bands. The amount of bands and music we listen to is that huge, it´s hard to point out specific ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Havok and Angelus apatrida got some very similar elements like dust bolt, did they influence the band in any way or simply you got similar influences?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know, we are quiet young which means that we kind of grew up with that new wave of Thrash Metal. When we started listening to Thrash, it was the time when bands like Warbringer, Municipal Waste, Havok, Violator etc came up! I also love Angelus Apatrida. Of course we share some elements definitely. But every band is individual in its way though and has their own way and interpretation of Thrash I think. But we all share to be the next generation of Metal and that connects us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">After your first album you got global recognition, how did the media react after the release? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The feedback has been overwhelming for us! Especially on international level. We didn't expect that, but are so fucking happy to have so many great reactions on the music we make! It´s crazy to visit places you haven´t been yet and have people there knowing your songs. It really means a lot to us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Could you tell me details about the process of creation and recording of awake the riot? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recording process was great! We had a very creative and familiar atmosphere in the studio, as far as we chose the same studio we´ve already been for our first record Violent Demolition. We worked with Max Krach and Lolli Springer at the Engine Studios again. They know Dust Bolt since the very beginning and became friends of us! It´s really important to be able to trust the people you work with in the studio and during the musical process, at least that´s how I feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recording sessions of ““Awake the Riot” have been very different though, compared to “Violent Demolition”where, that we had written and played all the songs before already. This time the songs were written only briefly before going to the studio. We hadn't played any of them live and we also hadn't practiced them with vocals until then. So it was very exciting to hear the first finished songs on tape and see in which direction they would go. Everyone of us really wanted to make the next forward with this album and we worked really hard during the two weeks but also had a great and funny time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b>I admit you did an excellent job with your last work, how did the media react to it generally? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, the feedback has been phenomenal! Awake the riot opened a lot of new gates for us! We were now able to play Headliner shows and tours and play bigger festivals and gained lot of new fans! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How do you feel now that the album has been out through 2014?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We feel great about because, as I said, it opened that many doors for us.As for example finally the European Tour with Obituary. But slowly, I feel hungry again to make the next one :) We gained many experiences on tour right now and will put all that into some new material soon I think !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How do you see the metal scene in your country? How do you feel being part of a new wave of traditional heavy and thrash metal? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scene is great and we feel lucky and happy to be a part of the new generation!There are lots of young and new bands here in our area waiting to get their chances to be heard by the world and they deserved it! E.g. Toxic Waltz, Battlecreek, Straighline. To name a few! I love the thought of being part of a new scene and movement, like back in the 80ies. Where people and bands hang out together, withouth competition but with cooperation! That´s what metal is about, friendship!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">How do you feel after signing with napalm records? Did you sign for a certain number of albums? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Working with them is great! They are great people and support any idea we bring on! And we still have all freedom! That´s just perfect. I´m not allowed to tell contract details, but no ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">In this tour you play with obituary, how do you feel sharing stage with such a big band? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it´s a dream coming true! Especially as far as Obituary is the first Death Metal Band I ever listened to and one of my favourites! Seeing them playing each night, sharing the stage with them, learning from them, it´s wonderful! We are really thankful to them, because THEY were the ones inviting us on this tour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Also mpire of evil play with you today, you got tony Dolan on stage, actually one of the pioneers of the thrash metal being the vocalist of Atomkraft, how do you feel about it ?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great as well! Especially because we didn't know what to expect, as far as the difference in age and experience is that huge. He is a fucking legend. But as we met, we immediately recognized what nice person he is! I love him! He is so funny, always happy and enjoys playing music and hanging out with Fans. I never saw a band that down to earth such as Mpire, though they are true legends of metal! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">What other bands have you shared stage with? Do you have any special memories with another band?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"></span></b>Ohh many haha ;)) But one band we really loved to tour with and looking forward to do it again someday was Dr. Living Dead from Sweden! Great people and unbelievable great music! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Do you know divine chaos? Would you like to share stage with them in the future?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I´m sorry I don´t know them but I´m gonna check them out! I think I heard of them. We like to share the stage with anybody who is friendly, nice and funny :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Tell me your most memorable moment from this tour.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Playing n France and in London for the first time.Things I was dreaming about a long time..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Which is your favourite country to play?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"></span></b>Now France haha! No, serious. Every country, I don´t care. Metal is so fucking international and that´s great. Play an Iron Maiden song, people will freak out, no matter if you´re in Germany or Spain or Sweden. That´s what I love in metal. It´s not about superficialities. It´s about music. But I love playing in the southern part of Europe for example because people are very enthusiastic there and often sing along!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Are you preparing new material? If so, could you anticipate any details?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will start doing that now after the tour I think but we don´t have anything concrete yet. We´ll see. We have lots of ideas and things we want to put into music and songs now. I´m already pretty excited starting working on new stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">To finish please send a message to your fans!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thank you for your support and awaking the riot with us, we will see you all soon again and spread chaos once again! Take care! You rule! Let the metal flow and cheers, DxBxTxCx</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Trauma</b> is a <b>power speed metal</b> band from <b>San Francisco</b> formed in <b>1981</b> being well known being <b>Cliff Burton in the band before joining Metallica</b>; <b>Trauma</b> released one album in <b>1984, Scratch and scream, and then split to be reformed in 2013</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now Trauma is back! And the imminent album <b>Rapture and wrath is coming the next 27th February 2015 (pure steel records) as a full demonstration of renovated energies</b> since their last work 30 years ago, <b>US pure heavy metal with bay area influences and drippings of Dio meeting Iron Maiden</b>, they were considered into speed metal before but in this album the <b>rhythms are predominantly slow mixed with mid to fast tempo, so heavy - power metal could be the band style precisely</b>, add the exceptional quality of the vocals,<b> high pitched and clean techniques denoting also excellent theatrical parts, and guitars are sharp and well harmonised with drums and bass, showing some technical sections here and there.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Heart of stone</span></b> Opens the album, and what a song! <b>Fast paced true metal in every chord</b>, one of the highlights of the album that will make you bang your head right away, <b>remarkable chorus with long vocal notes under the speed pounding drumbeats</b>, followed by <b><span style="color: orange;">When I die</span></b>, as another <b>mid fast injection of heavy metal with drippings of us epic metal</b>, good contrast between verses and bridge and truly intense chorus, <b>vocal parts are great and reminds some Bruce Dickinson influence</b> mostly in the chorus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">The long way home</span></b> is created as a <b>mid tempo ballad</b>, with a <b>well composed ascending structure</b> that make it really intense, as the dark melodies of <b><span style="color: orange;">Pain</span></b> start, with a slow to mid paced shot of <b>doom metal influences with Judas Priest memories on the guitar notes</b>, the changes of rhythms are great on the instrumental galloping sounds and the vocal lows and highs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">The walking dead</span></b> also reminds the dark side of the band as <b>they forge pure doom melodies and transform it in another classic heavy metal mid tempo chorus</b>, as <b><span style="color: orange;">Kingdom come </span></b>explodes in <b>one of the best tracks of the album</b>, the <b>vocal interpretation is exceptional </b>as the intensity goes and comes from verses to bridge and chorus continuing with<b><span style="color: orange;"> Egypt</span></b> as a good track with oriental drippings on the vocal parts and strong riffs, awesome composition accelerated by the next shot, <b><span style="color: orange;">Under the lights</span></b>, speed heavy metal with US metal melodies creating <b>awesome rhythm changes</b> that will make you bang your head following the action to<b><span style="color: orange;"> Don't tread on me</span></b>, one of the best interpreted tracks of the album, <b>the vocal parts and guitar melodies herald also hard rock influences,</b> as the last track, <b><span style="color: orange;">Too Late</span></b> bangs with<b> strong and heavy mid fast tempo riffs, with good details on the guitar backgrounds and drum performance.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Trauma</b> are reborn in this album denoting a <b>young feeling energy in every song,</b> <b>some of them are brilliant, heart of stone and when I die definitely are the best cuts of the band</b>, losing grip as the album continues but catching the listener attention at the end with <b>good theatrical interpretations and excellent compositions.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall Trauma forged a good album, not at the level of other young bands of the NWOTHM but <b>as a return from the darkness, it's an excellent point of entry.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having the chance to listen and analyse the new work of these guys, I can confirm <b>there is an evolution in the sound</b>, now the tracks are <b>better composed</b>, the content of the <b>lyrics are much better and totally deep and intense</b>, denoting the band have worked harder this time. On the other side there is <b>not many songs as wild and direct as Gunpowder treason or Fire and Steel,</b> as I said before, <b>Night experimented more this time</b>, even taking <b>drippings of power metal and of course keeping the old school sound.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The album starts with the vocal choirs introducing <b><span style="color: orange;">waiting for the time</span></b>, a totally <b>epic entry with an excellent crescendo structure</b> from the solo vocal part verses ascending to a <b>catchy chorus</b>, where the<b> guitars draw good melodies</b>, really <b>good progression</b> as we continue with <b><span style="color: orange;">Across the ocean</span></b>, <b>more direct shot of old school heavy metal</b>, awesome riffs and harmony between guitar and vocal evolution across the song, also <b>remarkable transition on bridge to chorus</b>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">We're not born to walk away</span></b> heralds another <b>headbanging mid tempo shot</b>, stronger rhythm now and also <b>the message, forged to lift you up and turn the volume louder</b>, as <b><span style="color: orange;">Above the ground </span></b>continues the act <b>reminding some tunes of their first job</b>, also with e<b>xcellent evolution from the verses to bridge and chorus, simple and effective</b>, linking the action to the <b>acoustic track</b> <b><span style="color: orange;">Towards the sky</span></b>, <b>mid tempo anthem full of feelings, the vocalist does a really good job here as he manage to express the message In perfect harmony with the instrumentals</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Secret war</span></b> rise the fires of hell with <b>headbanging action in a mid tempo rhythm </b>with strong drumbeats and <b>very straight verses</b>, like<b><span style="color: orange;"> Kings and Queens </span></b>accelerates the pace to the kinds of the <b>speed power metal by Gamma Ray meeting Judas Priest</b>, one of the best true metal shots of the band, the<b> power of the verses is restless as they ascend the intensity leading to one of the best details, the asking and answering duo of vocals and guitars, just outstanding.</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Entrench</b> style comprises the <b>old school thrash metal</b> pulses but with <b>blackened powerful instrumentals and harsh and sharp violent vocal patterns</b>, <b>drums are remarkably exceptional</b>, changing rhythms from ultra fast black and death double pedalled influences to mid to fast paced genuine thrash, combined with palm muted guitar riffs really well composed; basically following this strategy over all tracks in the album, starting with <b><span style="color: orange;">One with agony</span></b> where the <b>speed blackened thrash explodes from the beginning with forceful vocal sections and excellent chorus</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Those who exceed </span></b>follows the same path creating an <b>addictive riff of pure thrash and drippings of death metal, also good progression going in crescendo to a mid fast tempo thrash attack</b>, exploding without a break with <b><span style="color: orange;">Adjust to summit</span></b>, another thrash anthem with death metal melodies and <b>added epic slow parts trespassing the doom territory </b>and ascending amazingly to mid fast technical death thrash combo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Chemical holocaust</span></b> keep the technical pace on the riff and drums, alternating mid and fast pulses, this time on the death metal pattern, leading to an<b> excellent chorus to scream fist in the air</b>, nonstop headbanging moshpit continued by <b><span style="color: orange;">Devoid of life,</span></b> <b>fast death thrash all the way</b> with remarkable palm muted guitar riffs and wrathful vocals that will blow your mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Calm the urge</span></b> explodes literally with an exceptional performance on the drums,<b> pure speed and mid tempo thrash metal rhythms</b> lead the act with interesting vocal sections, as the <b><span style="color: orange;">process of Annihilation</span></b> continues the thrash strategy changing rhythms amazingly well,with predominant mid tempo parts, with a <b>good harmony between great theatrical vocals and instrumentals.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The guitars of <b><span style="color: orange;">senseless slaughter</span></b> well give you an idea of the patterns of this track, <b>one of the best speed thrash metal songs of the band</b>, finding drippings of<b> Exumer</b> meeting <b>Exodus </b>on those riffs backed by thunderous drumbeats, excellent headbanging job continued by the last song, <b><span style="color: orange;">apathetic existence</span></b>, another great <b>ascending evolution from mid to high speed thrash</b>, with bits of death metal here and there making this another highlight of the band style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Entrench created a really enjoyable album, excellent compositions completed with changes of rhythms, not extremely technical but headbanging from the first riff, taking you to a nonstop moshpit of genuine thrash metal that will equally delight death metal maniacs.</b></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Stargazery</b> is a <b>power metal band from Finland formed in 2005</b> and releasing their <b>first album in 2011 (Eyes on the sky)</b> and due to release their <b>new album Stars aligned the next 23rd of January 2015.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Stargazery</b> style comes from the <b>melodic 90s power metal</b> with drippings of <b>hard rockish elements, </b>creating anthems with very <b>catchy choruses generally</b>, the<b> voice acts very effective theatrically speaking, with melodic and clean style, backed by sharp guitars, strong drumbeats and keyboards, being the essential sound of the band.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The album starts with <b><span style="color: orange;">Voodoo</span></b>, being straight away one of the<b> highlights of the band style, as a mid tempo epic shot</b>, it got interesting elements, like the bridge before the solo, where <b>vocals and keyboards make an excellent job</b>; following with<b><span style="color: orange;"> Angel of the dawn</span></b>, slower pace but <b>more powerful in terms of melodic structure</b> with remarkable teamwork between guitars an vocals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Missed the train to paradise </span></b>is another <b>great example of pure power metal,</b> with an in crescendo structure to<b> one of the best and most epic choruses of the band</b>, the guitar performance brings <b>memories of Queensrÿche</b> style and the general composition is awesome, one of the best of the album, continued by <b><span style="color: orange;">Invisible</span></b>, <b>mid and slow shot of low pitched vocal and rhythms changes</b> to get an ascending pattern leading to a good chorus, nothing special apart from the vocal evolution and the keyboard play.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Absolution </span></b>continues the power metal path, taking some <b>Edguy style on the melodies</b>, comprising <b>awesome guitar riffs and another top chorus to be singed along</b>, the vocal high pitched play is excellent, creating a perfect harmony with the rest of the band, also perfect in the next track <b><span style="color: orange;">Academy of love</span></b>, ballad of the album being transformed beautifully in another mid tempo powerful chorus,<b> great the progression here and the play of guitar solo and piano.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Painted into a corner</span></b> starts with a <b>really impressive vocal clean shot</b> in a mid tempo melodic <b>heavy metal in crescendo track</b>, outstanding the keyboard performance and the composition, like <b><span style="color: orange;">Dim the halo</span></b>, with another <b>catchy chorus</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Bring me the night</span></b> heralds another <b>good combination between leading melodic vocals and guitar</b>, backed by symphonic keyboards elements, as we continue to the end of the album, the performance of the band improves in every track, being the time of <b><span style="color: orange;">Hiding</span></b>, with <b>one of the best increscendo mid tempo ballad,</b> including<b> the best vocal interpretation</b>, demonstrating the good qualities of the vocalist, as the <b><span style="color: orange;">Warrior's Inn</span></b> kicks in with an <b>awesome guitar riff and catchy combination of voice and keyboards melodies</b>, forging an epic chorus that leads to the last and best track of the album.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Dark Lady</span></b> is the last in line, and despite the fact that is a cover, this is <b>one of</b> <b>the best shots and a gem of the genre</b>, developed in <b>English and another version in Finnish as a bonus track</b>, <b>develops a truly addictive pace and riffs</b>, under the violin melodies ascending to a marvellous chorus, of those to be played again and again, <b>definitely better than the original where every member nail it.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, this album is in general an<b> excellent job by Stargazery</b>, taking the b<b>est elements of the old school melodic power of the 90s, creating memorable songs like the highlights Voodoo, Dim the Halo, Dark Lady or Missed the train to paradise</b>; being able to create addictive choruses in almost all the tracks is a really good point, also most of the tracks have mid tempo rhythms being the only thing that could be improved in terms of composition variety, but the general impression is that we are listening to an <b>awesome album that demonstrate that Stargazery worked hard and succeeded with Stars aligned.</b></div>

<b>Ruthless</b> finally are releasing their <b>first studio album after their Discipline of steel in 1986</b>, the album under the name "<b>They rise</b>" will come to light the next <b>30th January via Pure steel records.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b>US power metal</b> developed by <b>Ruthless</b> is well considered <b>authentic and true heavy metal,</b> giving <b>gems like<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B008RUZKMI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B008RUZKMI&linkCode=am2&tag=metalheadsuni-21&linkId=ZBGFLEC3F5DTI4O3">Metal Without Mercy</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=metalheadsuni-21&l=am2&o=2&a=B008RUZKMI" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
or Discipline of steel to the world</b>, generally enjoyed by true metalheads with a good knowledge of genuine metal bands on the line of <b>Omen, Liege lord or Jag Panzer.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This new album brings <b>lots of reminiscences from their previous albums</b>, true straightforward US metal, this time <b>the band developed some slightly more modern melodies here and there</b>, also introducing that <b>strong Teutonic drippings seen on Accept or Grave Digger</b>, also remark the<b> vocal </b>qualities after so long time, now are<b> cleaner but still aggressive</b>, and about of the d<b>rums, now they sound cleaner and better produced than before, but not as thunderous and powerful as their 80s albums.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The album start with<b> one of the best shots,</b> <b><span style="color: orange;">Defender</span></b>, very much <b>on the line of Steeler by Judas Priest on the riffs</b>, the clean <b>vocals are really good performed</b>, Introducing <b>mid to high pitched parts leading to a really catchy chorus</b>, headbanging entry linked with <b><span style="color: orange;">Laceration</span></b>, mid tempo bomb of true metal, the <b>addictive main riff is leaded by a good vocal composition,</b> ascending intensity with the pure sign of the band, combining clean and sharp vocal techniques with added <b>excellent drum shots.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tittle track<b><span style="color: orange;"> They rise</span></b>, comes as a <b>slow paced shot with epic doom metal essence</b>, <b>vocals offer a great theatrical interpretation full of power</b>, the structure could remind the listener to <b>Kiss of the death by Metal Church</b>, equally intense and well composed as the riffs of <b><span style="color: orange;">Circle of trust</span></b> arises,<b> on the line of Jag Panzer, interesting track with a good progression and excellent harmony between vocals and riffs</b>, not in their best of though, as the aggressive speed metal of <b><span style="color: orange;">Hang man</span></b> take you to the mosh pit, the <b>intensity here is outstanding</b>, <b>vocal performance</b> is from the best of the album, s<b>harp forceful mid high pitched style like the old times;</b> the rhythms are also breathtaking as It changes between verses and chorus, <b>really well structured</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After this powerful demonstration its time for a slow one, the ballad <b><span style="color: orange;">Time waits</span></b>, the vocal parts are really well played under the <b>slow paced galloping bass background</b>, linked with another headbanging mid fast bomb, <b><span style="color: orange;">Out of the ashes</span></b>, very straight shot with the same strategy of fast verses and mid paced and <b>intense chorus and remarkable guitar solo</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the highlights of the album is the track <b><span style="color: orange;">Frustration</span></b>, heralds the power of the band in a <b>fast thunderous drumbeats, the progression is overwhelming as the intensity ascends to a very catchy chorus</b>, linking the action to the last song, <b><span style="color: orange;">Systematic terror</span></b>, mid tempo track with a really strong pattern, leading to a <b>powerful chorus to be screamed on the gigs, in crescendo to the end with nice high pitched details.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ruthless</b> open the gates of hell almost 30 years after their last album, with <b>renovated energy creating an excellent album full of power and genuine US metal</b>, obviously got some modern influences after all these years, and its not quite the same as the old times, but the truth is that <b>They rise </b>is riveting from start to finish, and t<b>racks like Defender, Hang man or Frustration will delight their old fans and also will catch new metalheads that didn't know them yet, in fact I can say Ruthless forged another true metal masterpiece.</b></div>
