│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ You would be forgiven for reading the title of ║ │
│║ AlmanacÆs new album, Kingslayer, and thinking ║ │
│║ æwow theyÆve written a Game Of Thrones inspired ║ │
│║ album. But before you start thinking that the ║ │
│║ German power metallers have delivered you an ║ │
│║ album in which they look of the lives of Jon ║ │
│║ Snow, Khaleesi and more importantly the ║ │
│║ KIngslayer himself Jamie Lannister I should tell ║ │
│║ you that just like on their first album, Tsar, ║ │
│║ the band has turned to real life history, and ║ │
│║ not fairytales, for their inspiration behind the ║ │
│║ albumà. and what an album it is. Taking ║ │
│║ inspiration from Pirate Queens who wouldnÆt die ║ │
│║ and schizophrenic kings this is a walk through ║ │
│║ history like you have never experienced before. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While described as power metal there is also a ║ │
│║ strong sense of symphonic metal around ║ │
│║ Kingslayerà an album that has fast become one of ║ │
│║ my favourite albums of the year. From the ║ │
│║ opening track, æRegicideÆ this is an album that ║ │
│║ wins you over with its amazing blend of vocal ║ │
│║ coming from David Readman, Jeanette Marchewka ║ │
│║ and Andy B. Franck. Then comes æChildren Of The ║ │
│║ Sacred PathÆ which sees ex-Rage guitarist Victor ║ │
│║ Smolski deliver some absolutely brilliant axe ║ │
│║ work. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are no weak tracks at all on Kingslayer. ║ │
│║ æGuilt As ChargedÆ again showcases the trio of ║ │
│║ vocalists while æHail To The KingÆ, which takes ║ │
│║ a look at some Sri Lankian history, conjures up ║ │
│║ a smooth 1980s rock vibe. æLosing My MindÆ has ║ │
│║ musical twists and turns all through it while ║ │
│║ the very short title track, æKingslayerÆ again ║ │
│║ showcases the talents of Smolski on guitar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ One of the best tracks on the album is æKingdom ║ │
│║ Of The BlindÆ which really does see the ║ │
│║ symphonic side of Almanac as the tracks just ║ │
│║ keeps building and building to some truly ║ │
│║ amazing epic heights. That sound continues with ║ │
│║ æHeadstrongÆ before æLast FarewellÆ takes a turn ║ │
│║ towards folk metal. The album then closes with ║ │
│║ the triumphant sounding æRed FlagÆ which again ║ │
│║ sees Smolski stand up and deliver the goods. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Kingslayer is an amazing album that really does ║ │
│║ show why Almanac is a band that the world must ║ │
│║ sit up and take notice of. This is a stunning ║ │
│║ follow-up to Tsar and is an album that is very ║ │
│║ easy to fall in love with. The talent of Almanac ║ │
│║ is outstanding and hopefully, this is a band ║ │
│║ that is around for many years to come. ║ │
