EMISSARY – SUMMER TOUR EP ( Review by Varg The Mighty )

Today’s review is of American Power Metal band Emissary’s new EP.

Serving as an appetizer before their upcoming album later this year, the release features 3 tracks from their latest Summer Tour and their respective demo versions from 1994-95.

Combining classic Power Metal in the likes of Gamma Ray with the characteristic approach of USPM and a much more Heavy Metal direction than most bands of the genre, there are bits that may also remind the listener of Iron Maiden, although there is also an aggressive Speed Metal undertone as in any good Power Metal. Their melodic interludes between catchy choruses will surely also appeal to fans of Seventh Son-era Maiden, while the Power Metal roots are still there apparent. Collectors may be interested in these raw versions of “The Silent Treatment”, “Crash & Burn” and “Ruler Of Defiance”.

I recommend this album to fans of Power Metal, Speed Metal and Heavy Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.

Helgrind - Massacre The Suffering SINGLE RELEASE

Helgrind unleash savage new single, ‘Massacre The Suffering’

UK thrash metal legends Helgrind unleash their latest track ‘Massacre The Suffering’; taken from their upcoming album ‘Insurrection’.

Although the band’s first release in over ten years (since 2011’s ‘Inquisition’), ‘Massacre The Suffering’ is unquestionably Helgrind - frenzied guitar riffs, pounding drums and aggressive vocals coalesce to create an unashamedly savage 3 minutes 24 seconds of thrash metal.

Vocalist and bassist Paula Nelson comments on the track:
“[Massacre The Suffering] is a song about the suffering of children around the world who are sent out to fight wars. They have no understanding what it's about.”

‘Insurrection’ is for fans of Kreator, Overkill, Sepultura, Exodus, Sodom and Death - out October 22nd via Metal Rocka Recordings, Cargo Records and One Eyed Toad Records.
 

FROZEN BY FIRE - IN MY SIGHTS - (Melodic Heavy Metal)

 

FFO: Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold Melodic heavy metal and hard rock band Frozen By Fire are about to release their new music video for the song In My Sights on YouTube. The song is from their upcoming 3rd studio album Dancing With Death. The song goes live on Wednesday Sept 22nd, 2021 Check out the video! https://youtu.be/LIiGkPTBWhE

The story of the video is about a stalker, and The Joblin plays the part menacingly, following the object of his desire, played by the very stunning Carae Schultz, through her every day life and she narrowly escapes on several occasions. When Joblin finally catches his prize, the real fun begins! A shock ending and a twisted sense of humor make this dark and sinister video a must watch for all Hard Rock and Metal Music fans.   The musicians in the video are: The Joblin (Lead Vocals / Guitars), Ricky Pasket (Bass Guitar), Cody Cris who plays a blistering guitar solo and Leo McPherson makes a guest appearance on the drums.   The music video was filmed mainly in Texas, USA, along with a few other locations. The song itself is reminiscent of classic Metal bands from the past, with a modern twist. It starts out with a very foreboding guitar line, followed by some heavy chords. The vocals begin very ominously as the lyrics describe the singer's infatuation with the girl of his dreams, only she doesn't know it yet! Once the chorus kicks in, it has a very catchy melody that will be stuck in your head as you sing along. The guitar solo boosts things into high gear with some shredding and tasty themes. The main riff is a play off of the intro riff, only heavier and accompanied by a drum groove that goes from slow and heavy to faster and flashy as it progresses through the part. Frozen By Fire was started in 2009 in Las Vegas NV, and have released two full length albums so far. They are in the process of releasing their 3rd full length album, and they are releasing several feature live action music videos for the upcoming album.

Fierce Atmospheres - "The Speed of Dreams"

 

 AMERICAN POWER METAL WITH SPANISH ACCENT
Fierce Atmospheres, the American progressive Power Metal band led by Spanish singer Taran de Pablos, returns with their second album, "The Speed ​​of Dreams". Mixed and mastered by Andy La Rocque at Sonic Train Studios in Sweden, The Speed ​​of Dreams is a collection of tracks built on a foundation of well-crafted guitars, incessant rhythmic structures, and infectious melodies that together create a dynamic and intense mix that reflects the influences of the band rooted in American Heavy Metal and European Power Metal. The tandem work of La Rocque and Fierce Atmospheres on this album has resulted in a step forward in the group's sound, making it heavier and more direct without losing the progressive touch that Fierce Atmospheres already demonstrated on their debut.

Con dos depresiones económicas a la espalda, parece evidente que sólo se puede contar con un futuro a corto plazo.

Un tema, que dándo nombre al álbum, con el que han querido hacer una oda a la generación maldita, a su generación.

Deja que el rock, el eclecticismo y la reivindicación de Mafalda inunde tus oídos. Este nuevo single nace de la nostalgia de tiempos mejores y de las ganas de combatir un futuro incierto.
El vídeo, inspirado en los años 90, pone imagen a una de las letras más crudas y directas que ha hecho Mafalda hasta la fecha. Es sólo el principio de la historia que cuenta el videoclip, que se completará con los próximos dos adelantos.

'Les Infelices' es sólo el aperitivo del disco homónimo, que podrás escuchar próximamente. Es el primero de los tres adelantos que Mafalda irá revelando hasta que podamos disfrutar de su quinto LP.
