│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With swords raised in victory, the war of steel ║ │
│║ has begun and ROCKA ROLLAS - the road warriors ║ │
│║ of all things Metal - return with more ║ │
│║ impressive raging from Hell. This goes to show ║ │
│║ that they who are influenced by the true metal ║ │
│║ kings know how to continue the enduring legacy. ║ │
│║ For these dedicated warriors of steel and Metal ║ │
│║ are the true conquerors. That is right. That ║ │
│║ dynamic talented combination of American steel ║ │
│║ and Swedish might makes it right, returning with ║ │
│║ more triumphant glory, and indeed ôThe Metal ║ │
│║ Strikes Backö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Unfortunately, this may be the last effort with ║ │
│║ Josef Listz who has departed via the D-Train, to ║ │
│║ focus on other sick selective Metal pursuits. ║ │
│║ This would not be the first time an American ║ │
│║ worked with such a talented Swede, as I myself ║ │
│║ am becoming increasingly more involved in THE ║ │
│║ PORRIDGEFACE, and we hope to have another album ║ │
│║ (our third) due out later this fall. You got to ║ │
│║ love modern technology! Clearly, I digress. ║ │
│║ However, Cederick Forsberg keeps the Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ machine active, by working with his other band ║ │
│║ for which I have heard promising news. Check out ║ │
│║ MORTYR - ôRise Of The Tyrantö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As for this album which is more metal than ║ │
│║ steel, all the fight for the loud and proud ║ │
│║ ingredients are present: Hyper fast blazing ║ │
│║ guitar dynamics, ear ringing and soaring vocals, ║ │
│║ weapon-sized raging solos, and more OTT ║ │
│║ enthusiastic Power Metal, I've personally heard ║ │
│║ a myriad of times, but never tire from enjoying. ║ │
│║ Fans of RUNINING WILD, GAMMA RAY, ELVENPATH, ║ │
│║ STRATOVARIUS, etc., you know what to expect; ║ │
│║ especially the speedier songs by said artists. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôNight Of The Living Steelö sets the pace for ║ │
│║ what you can expect, nothing less than a sonic ║ │
│║ bloodbath of Marshall amps all cranked up to 10. ║ │
│║ This headbanging fest will be marked with an ║ │
│║ epitaph: a lasting homage to the stone cold ║ │
│║ victory of Metal or steel. Fans Of the first two ║ │
│║ HAMMERFALL albums take note, as well as first ║ │
│║ two NOSTRADAMEUS, and first two STEEL ATTACK ║ │
│║ albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I am surprised how much ôMetaliveö reminds me of ║ │
│║ ôMetal Hellö by EXE; especially, the catchy ║ │
│║ chorus. ôBlazing Wingsö sounds like any songs ║ │
│║ from ôBlazon Stoneö, who by the way (BLAZON ║ │
│║ STONE) are another band Stormspell advocates for ║ │
│║ fans of that Pirate Metal music Rockin' Rolf ║ │
│║ Kasparek created back in the blackened Noise ║ │
│║ days. The never compromising title track has ║ │
│║ that fast, fun, and friendly vibe, as stays on ║ │
│║ target honoring RIOT's glorious ôThundersteelö, ║ │
│║ as well as classic BLIND GUARDIAN. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôRaging Cyborgö is a bit of a departure from the ║ │
│║ MANOWARish mettle themes, and it is more akin to ║ │
│║ SACRED STEEL, PHANTOM, or perhaps DEATH DEALER ║ │
│║ whose album artwork is very similar. The ║ │
│║ unstoppable juggernaut that is ôWarmachine From ║ │
│║ Hellö will appeal to fans of HIBRIA, HELLISH ║ │
│║ WAR, and STORMWARRIOR. ôWeaponizerö is another ║ │
│║ burner riding out the metal storm, borrowing a ║ │
│║ bit from STORMWITCH and HEAVY LOAD, leading up ║ │
│║ to the epic ôSwords Raised In Victoryö, clearly ║ │
│║ in the vein of ôTsarö or ôVictoryö from said ║ │
│║ album itself. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I was pleased to see that no tracks from the ║ │
│║ excellent ôConquerorö (EP) were re-used, and ║ │
│║ this sophomore steel lord on wheels is well- ║ │
│║ comprised of all new material, thus serving as ║ │
│║ another vicious barbaric attack on the senses, ║ │
│║ crushing the posers to death. Stormspell is ║ │
│║ selling this mighty mettle raging weapon prize ║ │
│║ right now for only $9.99 and the price is a real ║ │
│║ steal. ║ │
