│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Birmingham based NWOBHM style metallers ║ │
│║ Agincourt release their debut album 'Angels Of ║ │
│║ Mons' through their own label, Agincourt Music. ║ │
│║ The band were originally formed in 1991 and are ║ │
│║ heavily influenced by the NWOBHM era of the ║ │
│║ previous decade, they had two self released EPs, ║ │
│║ did a recording session for Radio One and the ║ │
│║ famous Maida Vale Studios in London, and their ║ │
│║ brand of old school metal was being tipped by ║ │
│║ may to carry them to big success. At this time ║ │
│║ the band received substantial airplay at local, ║ │
│║ national and International level, along with a ║ │
│║ video appearance on national television, as well ║ │
│║ as performing live shows at prime venues, but ║ │
│║ the arrival of grunge effectively killed off ║ │
│║ their hopes and the band split up in 1997. ║ │
│║ However, 11 years later Agincourt reformed. ║ │
│║ Three original members û vocalist/guitarist ║ │
│║ Richard E. Toy, guitarist Frank Miracco and ║ │
│║ bassist Russ Weaver û were joined by former ║ │
│║ Benediction drummer Paul Brookes, but Miracco ║ │
│║ was quickly replaced by Paul Anderson. The band ║ │
│║ are to release their debut album 'Angels Of ║ │
│║ Mons' on March 1, but since they finished ║ │
│║ recording there debut offering, Brookes has ║ │
│║ left, with Steve Riley coming in. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So onto 'Angels Of Mons' and itÆs apparent from ║ │
│║ the off on first track 'Edge Of Paradise' you ║ │
│║ are going to be offered a cross of early Maiden ║ │
│║ and classic Saxon. The album really takes me ║ │
│║ back to my youth when the NWOBHM kicked off with ║ │
│║ tracks like 'Going Insane' with its monster ║ │
│║ riff, and personal favourite of mine, the ║ │
│║ outstanding 'Breakdown'. The band also remind me ║ │
│║ in parts of German metallers 'Steelwing', ║ │
│║ especially on 'This Life', 'Fool No More' and ║ │
│║ 'Promised Land', and although the production is ║ │
│║ not brilliant it actually adds to that raw sound ║ │
│║ that featured on so many of those classic NWOBHM ║ │
│║ albums from back in the day. The album is ║ │
│║ brought to a close with the excellent ║ │
│║ 'Agincourt' and for me this debut offering from ║ │
│║ this Midlands based band has been a real ║ │
│║ nostalgia trip down memory lane to the founding ║ │
│║ days of British Heavy Metal, and will really ║ │
│║ appeal to fans of early Maiden and Saxon. ║ │
│║ Agincourt will be part of the British Steel ║ │
│║ extravaganza at The Underworld in London on ║ │
│║ April 2nd, with the bill also featuring Steve ║ │
│║ GrimmettÆs Grim Reaper, Pagan Altar, Elixir and ║ │
│║ Saracen, and I for one will definitely be there. ║ │
