From the past comes the storm? Another re release from Cult Metal Classics. This is the debut album of those US metallers, originally appeared on 1988. You will probably know the band from its legendary second album “When Heroes Fall” (note: who will finally make a fucking review on this?). Ok here we have their debut, an album full of metal spirit. Just listen the great tracks “Glory Bound” and “When Cowards Die” and you will understand what I am talking about.

Strength, melody, great metal riffs, melodic solos and great vocals are some of the most typical features of this album. Classic heavy/power metal in US forms that will blow up your mind. Especially the tracks I mentioned before are real classics. Other good moments of the album are the tracks “Blindman’s Run” and “Kings In Hell”, that does not mean that the other tracks are not worth checking but simply the ones I mentioned are my favourite. We can also find two bonus tracks “The Motherlod” in its first version and “Bad City” on a different mix (from the sessions of the first album). Worth checking stuff in a few words, grab it as soon as possible!

I breathe for music. And I am more than sure that my mission in this universe is to make everybody agree that "Awaken The Guardian" by FATES WARNING is the best album ever released, yes in all musical genres. My next mission is to feed homeless cats and when I am not busy with all this stuff I listen to US Prog / Power and Epic Doom Metal. And I cast spells in rituals in order to awake the old ones.

WARLORD: The legend of William J Tsamis lives – Interview and...

To tell you the truth I was a little bit skeptical when I first learned about the Warlord tribute project set by drummer and founding member Mark Zonder and singer Giles Lavery to honor the music and memory of founder guitarist William J Tsamis who unfortunately passed away back in 2021. I was looking at the facts very closely, reading announcements about forthcoming live shows, new line up and a new album. The response from the fans was massive including both positive and negative (or very negative) comments about the above facts. "How can Warlord exist without Bill Tsamis?", they were asking. One afternoon I got a call from Giles Lavery himself asking me if I wanted to do an advance review of the forthcoming Warlord album. I replied positively still being in this skeptical mood. It all went away after the first listen... William J Tsamis was there. His music, his legend, his compositions, evolved into complete songs. In total excitement I texted Giles a single message "Bill is alive". The very next evening found Mark, Giles and I talking about the album, about Bill, about the music and the legacy. It was late at night when we ended the call. I asked them if I can publish our conversation and they got no problem. So here it is again: Me talking with Warlord. The usual stuff I am doing the last 25 years for various reasons. But this time I would not call this conversation an interview. To my eyes this is a big ethical, artistic and soulful statement, by some people who want to keep the Dream, alive.
