Stormburner - Shadow Rising (Pure Steel Records)
Blasting their way into the 2019 Top Albums, Stormburner with their first full length album, Shadow Rising have all the elements of a great heavy metal band in the making, even at this early stage of the band's journey. From the pumping "We Burn" to the grandiose "Ode to War", all the tracks are epic and oozing with heavy metal essence thanks to some amazing guitar work (by both rhythm and lead guitarists), fast drumming and Micke Stark's vocals who masterfully changes from mid-range to high-pitched screams adding to that HEAVY feeling! The Swedes are masters of catchy heavy metal with some of the album's highlights being the melodic titular song "Shadow Rising" , the heavier "Demon Fire" which is written for sing-alongs and the personal favourites "Ragnarök" and "Rune of the dead" which are packed with some Manowar-like epic-level vocals and riffs. Overall, an extremely enjoyable record with great replay value that is the perfect everyday dose of real heavy metal.
