│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Seattle-based traditional heavy metal warriors ║ │
│║ Skelator are back with a new full-length ║ │
│║ release. King of Fear is the bandÆs fourth album ║ │
│║ overall, and first on the Swords and Chains ║ │
│║ label. The band has been kicking around the ║ │
│║ underground U.S. traditional metal scene for ║ │
│║ more than a decade, but it wasnÆt until recently ║ │
│║ that the band moved from raw demos to more ║ │
│║ polished full-length albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Skelator has an interesting sound. Sure, theyÆre ║ │
│║ an old school metal band so theyÆre going to ║ │
│║ follow the familiar Priest/Maiden/Accept/Dio ║ │
│║ path, but between their highly melodic approach ║ │
│║ and fantasy-based lyrical content theyÆre almost ║ │
│║ a full-on power metal band. Part Helstar, part ║ │
│║ Metal Inquisitor and part Iron Savior maybe? The ║ │
│║ Helstar comparison is thanks largely to Jason ║ │
│║ Conde-HoustonÆs vocals, which really stand out ║ │
│║ and hit some impressive highs. Pair that with ║ │
│║ driving rhythms that have a classic NWOBHM vibe ║ │
│║ and the result is just a really fun album, ║ │
│║ taking you back to metalÆs glory days and giving ║ │
│║ you something to headbang and sing along to. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The thrashing, screaming ôRaging Demonö is ║ │
│║ probably the best song on King of Fear, ║ │
│║ recalling Judas Priest and Accept. ôStronger ║ │
│║ Than Steelö is a great metal anthem too, and ║ │
│║ songs like ôTest the Metalö and the title track ║ │
│║ really capture this bandÆs spirit and energy. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are a lot of bands in the U.S. playing ║ │
│║ traditional metal now, and quite a few of them ║ │
│║ are really good. It takes something special to ║ │
│║ stand out in that crowd, and at this point ║ │
│║ Skalator definitely does that. Their ║ │
│║ songwriting, musicianship, vocals and overall ║ │
│║ energy make them one of the more exciting and ║ │
│║ enjoyable bands in the scene. If youÆre into old ║ │
│║ school metal revivalists like Widow, Night ║ │
│║ Demon, Air Raid and Enforcer, youÆll want to ║ │
│║ grab a copy of King of Fear. ║ │
