Re-Forged is the newest release from the veteran metal band Emerald. Hailing
from Switzerland, this sextet has put together a dozen pounding tracks of
relentless metal that will blow out even the best speakers.
EmeraldÆs roots extend back to 1995 when members of Dark Crystal and Oppress
joined forces to create a new heavy metal act. Although only one founding member
û guitarist Michael Vaucher û remains with the band, their devotion to metal
remains a constant. Putting out big booming tracks of melodic heavy metal,
Emerald draws influences from the greats û Virgin Steele, Iron Maiden, Jag
Panzer, Warlord, Savatage and Crimson Glory to name a few. Despite many lineup
changes early on, Emerald managed to build a solid core of talented musicians
over the years. Joining Michael Vaucher are bassist Adriano Troiano (1997+),
keyboard player Thomas Vaucher (1998+), drummer Alex Spicher (2007+), vocalist
Thomas Winkler (2009+) and guitarist Manuel Werro (2009+). Re-Forged is the
bandÆs fifth studio release.
