Six friends getting together
to create a band, a real band not just "another" super-group! But the general
feel among heavy metal fans are often when well-known members of the metal
community join forces to make an album that they are just in it for the money
and they will never perform live on stage and album number two will never, ever
be released...
Only time will tell how
Serious Black, yes I think they have taken their name after a Harry Potter
character, will handle the big task to convince the metal fans that they are a
serious band to be reckoned with... because we are dealing with "who's who" in
European Power Metal. But thankfully they have delivered a very strong album to
back their claims with.
From start to finish they
are delivering first class European Power Metal the classic way: fast pounding
drums, razor-sharp guitar riffs, brilliant leads and harmonies, a rock solid
rhythm foundation and above the rest; an outstanding vocalist firing on all
cylinders!
So what more can you ask for
if you are into power metal? Nothing I'd say, and if you love this kind of metal
then make sure you pick this album up now! A sure genre highlight of 2015, and a
real nice way to kick the year off with.
