Tracklist:
1. I am Future2. Child Saint

In many cases we come across some musical stuff that we simply cannot explain the reason that is so attractive to us. The same goes for the stuff of this 12”.

Each track of the two included in it, magnetizes the listener and drives everyone that would have the chance to check this stuff out, to a magical metal journey, for one more time! (How many times have we made this great journey under the sound of so many metal diamonds of the past?).

Well the track of the first side of this ultra rare 12” called “I am Future” and I would describe it as heavy progressive metal. The “progressive” description is used here into a -correct- way in order to express the special personality of the music that makes it a little more complex but still heavy and melodic.

Moving to the next side we will discover the second same titled track that is simply a great heavy metal opus. I would point to this track as one of my favorite heavy metal tunes in general. Just listen to its main riff, its chorus, its rhythm section and you will understand what I am talking about. Just check out the great vocals, that is one of the strongest features of this band and you will for sure agree with me that here we have another metal diamond.

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.
