Powerwolf - Blood Of The Saints

Here we are again with another mega great band of heavy-power metal Powerwolf with their new album Blood of the Saints. I must say that i didn't know this band untill i saw a link of them in the youtube channel of Metal Blade Records, first i thought that it was going to be a black metal band because the painting and all the look they have, but i started listening We Drink Your Blood and i just got amazed with this band, so i went to the local music store and i never thought that i was going to find their cd (i live in a small town in Arkansas), but actually there was just one copy of the cd, without thinking i bought it. If the first time when i listened this guys i got amazed, i can't describe how i felt when i heard the whole album; this album has tracks that are with addictive choruses and guitar riffs that you won't be surprised if you're just walking around and you start to sing "Die, Die, Dinamite... Sanctified with Dinamite" because it is so great, the voice is so theatrical, i read that this guy studied opera or something like that, it fits really well with the agressive guitar riffs of almost all the songs. The only thing that i can say is that i don't know if these guys take so serious the thing of werewolves and blood drinking, but you can find a werewolf and some blood in almost every track of the disc. And one of the funny thing that i saw in the comments in the video of the song We Drink Your Blood in the youtube was "Nowadays is kinda dangerous to drink blood with lots of diseases and infections going on with the people, so be careful choosing who you are going to drink blood Powerwolf", at first i laughed a lot but i must say that this guy was so right about it and there's certain people that take so serious the lyrics and that was a pretty good message. Well so i will end this post with the video of We Drink Your Blood and remember that this is a great material and the only way to support this bands is just buying their discs, because they're so far away from USA i wish luck to the people in Europe that can see this band live, enjoy at the best.

ICS Vortex - Storm Seeker

Today in the morning i got in my mail the new cd of ICS Vortex Storm Seeker, i got too excited that i took it to the office and i kept listening it all day long, my first impression when i saw that this guy was working now by himself was that finally we were about to hear the great melodramatic voice of this guy, i was expecting to hear kind of black metal but with clean vocals as in Borknagar, something like the clean parts of some songs of Dimmu Burgir as Progenies of the great apocalypse or like The sacrilegious scorn wich are some of the best examples of Dimmu Borgir songs that wouldn't be the same without the great cleaning parts of Vortex; but well, it's nothing like that, not even close to it, but i'm not saying that this is not a good record, actually it is, but it's something like heavy metal with norwegian black metal influences with some old school progressive and a little bit of alternative from the 90's. The fusion of all this genres are pretty well performed by this guy, his vocals are amazing but maybe he could made it better, but anyway, i'm really happy that i bought his album, the song that i posted of The Blackmobile is probly the most intense song of the album but there's a lot of fun that you can get with this album. So as always, remember to buy the disc and try your best to not to download songs, we are the reason bands like this are working so lets support them.

Hell - Human Remains

One of the best band of NWOBHM from the 80's Hell has reunited back to finally make the official record of their old songs and i hope everyone agrees that maybe this is the best heavy metal album of this year. This band had their break with the suicide of the lead guitar/vocalist Dave Halliday in the 80's, but this guy left his style to the most known guitar from Sabbat Andy Sneap because he taught him to play the guitar, so Andy himself reunited the band in 2008 and he replaced Dave Halliday guitar and David Bower in the vocals (wich he is brother of Kev Bower the actual lead guitar), and Andy Sneap produced the record of the album Human Remains. The album is mostly with the sound of the 80's heavy metal, and the lyrics are more into the cult and anti-christianity and it is a beautiful master piece the results. I pre-ordered the album when i saw the great news, so the promotion i got because of it was a poster signed with every member of the band. So here i leave the video of the song As hell as it is in Hell, an awesome song that will surprise to anyone who knows about the real heavy metal and it is probably the best album after The Final Frontier from Iron Maiden. Remember to buy the disc to support this old guys who deserve the best luck in the scene of the modern heavy metal.

Hammerfall - Infected

This Sweden Power Metal band has come back with this new album Infected, i'm telling you, it's a very nice work what they have done with it, but actually if you have ever listened these guys before you can tell that there's a little difference in this album going more into the Heavy Metal (which personally i liked a lot) than into the Power, they still have the same killer sound that belongs to them but anyway right here the thing is to say what's better, this disc is worth every cent you're paying for it. The single of this album is One More Time which at the first time i heard it i thought that it was not going to be a good thing, but i kept listening and now it's one of the 25 top most played in my itunes; there's a special edition of the disc that comes with a second disc with an enhanced material with i think another three videos in studio, i just have the regular edition but i saw the videos on the youtube, very recommendable material if you're into the Heavy-Power Metal. So here is the video of the single One More Time and remember to buy the disc so they can keep entertaining us with his music.

ICS Vortex

The great bassist and back vocalist from Dimmu Borgir after being fired from the band, has started to work by himself with his new project Storm Seeker, this album is not released yet, we're about two weeks to the release, I already pre-ordered it, for me Vortex is a great musician that has show his talent with several bands like Borknagar, Dimmu Borgir and Arcturus. Most of his style is onwards the Black Metal, I'm not a huge fan of this genre but this guy makes this style of metal an exception of what we're used to hear. There's a promotional song out in the youtube called The Blackmobile, it sounds very good, there's a mixed style of the Norwegian black metal with some Heavy Metal very well worked so i hope the rest of the disc sounds similar to this song or even better. Anyway here it is the link to listen the song and remember to support these musicians buying the original disc so they can keep entertain us with this great music.
