│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Wardrum is a brand new band featuring the ║ │
│║ vocalist of Uli Jon Roth Piero Leporale plus ║ │
│║ members of the great Prog Metal band from ║ │
│║ Thessaloniki-Greece, Horizons End: Kosta Vreto, ║ │
│║ Stergios Kourou and Kostas Scandalis. Their ║ │
│║ debut album "Spadework" is out on Steel Gallery ║ │
│║ Records. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Wardrum delivers Power / Prog Metal at its best: ║ │
│║ There are plenty of influences spread around the ║ │
│║ music of this great band: from -early- ║ │
│║ Queensryche and Crimson Glory -first two ║ │
│║ albums-, to Titan Force and Lethal. There are ║ │
│║ also some Classic Heavy Metal touches here and ║ │
│║ there -Judas Priest- and light touch of European ║ │
│║ Steel û take as a reference the great riffing of ║ │
│║ Heavens Gate and you would get my point-. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Wardrum started by the drummer Stelios Kourou û ║ │
│║ when was the last time that a drummer have ║ │
│║ started such an excellent band?-, he have ║ │
│║ composed the basis of all the songs that took ║ │
│║ the final shape with the participation of the ║ │
│║ rest of the band. They actually combine in a ║ │
│║ very talented way the technical rhythm section ║ │
│║ ûMr Kourou on drums and Mr Skandalis on bass ║ │
│║ have done a excellent job- with complex but at ║ │
│║ the same so straight in the face riffing. It is ║ │
│║ this very exact point that the voice of Piero ║ │
│║ enters the game to fill the songs with ║ │
│║ magnificent vocal melodies. The out of this ║ │
│║ world guitar playing of Kosta Vreto, completes ║ │
│║ the puzzle with great guitars leads and yes this ║ │
│║ is Wardrum. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ At the end of the day I think that the really ║ │
│║ great feature of this band is their absolutely ║ │
│║ inspired songwriting. They just lay down the ║ │
│║ best riffs you can image as a starting point, ║ │
│║ from there, each musician adds its own magical ║ │
│║ touch and the final result is great. The first ║ │
│║ thought that I actually thought from the first ║ │
│║ listen of the album is that "this band delivers, ║ │
│║ real songs after all". I have written it in the ║ │
│║ past and I will write it in the future: the big ║ │
│║ point for a band is the inspiration of ║ │
│║ songwriting. You may have the best musicians in ║ │
│║ town and the you may have recorded your stuff in ║ │
│║ a professional studio under a great production, ║ │
│║ but is your songwriting powerful and inspired ║ │
│║ enough in order for good new songs to be ║ │
│║ delivered? If not then you have lost the game. ║ │
│║ Fortunately, Wardrum got a bunch of absolute ║ │
│║ great songs -and believe me it is difficult for ║ │
│║ me to pick up a specific one-, ah yes you can ║ │
│║ include the talented musicians and the powerful ║ │
│║ production in the package. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A last word must be written for the excellent ║ │
│║ cover by Michal Karcz who is member of the ║ │
│║ Rainer Kalwitz crew ûcovers for Shadow Gallery, ║ │
│║ Century Media, Massacre Records etc- well it is ║ │
│║ probably the best cover in a Metal record I have ║ │
│║ seen recently. I want T Shirt right NOW! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well enough written. Wardrum is probably the ║ │
│║ best new Metal band coming out from Greece. Do ║ │
│║ not make the mistake NOT to listen their debut. ║ │
│║ You will sure regret it. ║ │
