For once I didn't have to put on my polite face after checking out a friend's new band. Despite it's beginner rough edges this is really promising stuff! REAL Power Metal by the old definition. (before it suddenly came to mean lightweight symphonic fantasy-speed )
The fullength "Extermination Has Begun" has been played lately. Started out good, but after 6-7 spins I got a little bored with it. Anyway, the album is ok. Tormentor and the titletrack are my favorites.
Right... I didn't get a Power Metal vibe from the tracks at all, it sounds like a band simply playing "too fast" and Thrashy riffs, along with the ultra-generic songtitles/lyrics that are pretty much the rule when it comes to any retro-oriented bands. The generic lyrics thing can be fun if it's done well though. It hardly ever is. There's no air of the mystical that I like in the best PM. Afraid I actually hated the vocals :/
Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?
One day you'll be among the dead.
Well, this thread is 5 years old. Perhaps they've changed their sound since then (I don't know, but for sure this doesn't sound like power metal and I don't think Dan could have mistaken it for such).
Anyway, I like it. Wish I'd have heard of them sooner.
