How often do you recall being genuinely blown away by a NWOTHM (new wave of traditional heavy metal) album these days? For me, not very often. But, this just so happens to be one of those rare occasions where an album of this category simply does.

This album is really enjoyable. Headbanging friendly melodies that will lighten up any home party. This with a cold beer is the perfect way to enjoy your vacation and/or weekend

Their EP last year would be in one of the Clandestine Cuts issues, but the band got signed immediately.

Just plain and simple classic heavy metal, has it all, decent songwriting, great riffs, great vocals, and with lots of high-octane energy. A highly enjoyable headbanger for any fan of classic heavy metal!

That's understandable. I would sign them on the spot too. The album just gets better and better the more I listen to it. And the EP is implemented in the album too. "New Horizons" is the best heavy metal song I've heard in ages and that chorus is seriously addictive.

I'll definitely check this out. I don't know if you'd call it NWOBHM but Smoulder was a fantastic album that was released a few months back.

Smoulder's release was great too, more on the epic side though, and her vocals are astonishing.

Don't you just hate it when an album has a single of the same name and so all lists with that album register it as the single instead?

This can actually very easily be remedied by adding a leading blank space to the single's title. Just update your lists and all is well.

By the way, this annoying little bug would not have even occurred in this particular case if a certain user had not boycotted all the database team's efforts for months.

First song in I was fully ready to dismiss this but it just kept getting better and better and better. For a heavy metal album that’s going on almost 50 minutes this sure does a great job of never losing your attention.

Are we listening to the same album? Not sure if it's the mid-paced song writing or what, but I get no energy from this release. Just feels so by-the-numbers, especially the vocals and lyrics.
