Well it's finally landed and it's pretty damn good for my money after 2 spins ,the Malcolm Young inspired 'Midas Beast' and the punchy riffing of 'Split' standing out early doors, not really a track here that any Iced Guardian fan won't be raising a beer to. If ever there were a duo who weren't going to hit us with any surprises though...
wasnt a massive fan of the two tracks they released but ill check it out over the weekend. i really liked the last one they did.
Definitely a more melancholic album than the other two, could use a few more hard hitters in there. What really comes across is how well Hansi's voice is holding up (assuming no studio ,eh, wizadry).
It will sit well enough alongside it's forebears but it won't sit ahead of them.
