Title: Sumerlands
Post by: Anton Arcane on April 14, 2022, 10:06:44 PM
New single from Sumerlands. A bit more laid back than the album with more focus on atmosphere I would say but excellent, top drawer heavy metal.

Cool tune. Was more into Phil Swanson's vocals. Your man is an incredible singer though.

Was very dubious about a release without Swanson, so central to what made the sound of the first one, but this fella is doing a killer job. Great tunes.

Only just reached for the album yesterday, I'm a fan of Swanson, but this is very cool.

Yer lad sounds like the dude from Manic Street Preachers at times.

It's not the dude from Stone Dagger, Magic Circle, Pagan Altar et al, is it?

It is according to Metal Archives.

Song kind of reminds me of a beefier Queensryche at times.

It is indeed. Had you noticed said similarity before?

I thought it sounded like him when listening and it looked like him in the band pic.

Didn't even realise Magic Circle had split up until I looked, thought the voice was familiar.

Cool songs. I particularly like the second one.

Edit. It sounds a bit like a George Michael song actually, but I can't put my finger on which one. Never Gonna Dance Again maybe?

Second tune is a Fleetwood Mac cover. Great tune and class solo.
