In a year of unreal trad metal releases, this is just the icing on the cake. Hailing from Finland after putting out two extremely well received EP's, A Call to Arms and Chapitre II, and a split with kindred spirits Legionnaire, Chevalier drops the best trad metal release of the year. The EP's suffered a bit from very murky production and drowned vocals but this takes it up a notch. Production is very well done. And the highlight of it all is the pronounced rumbling, dirty bass lines. The guitar work on this is absolutely excellent and the drumming ties everything together very nicely. And to the vocals, ahhh the vocals. This chick can really hit them notes. Her shrills can really do work. I'd compare her to the likes of Acid and Znowhite.

So for anybody that wants some murky, dirty speed metal, feast your eyes upon this fucking kick ass record. For Fans Of: Legionnaire, Acid, Znowhite, Acero Letal, Sortilège or Vulture.

I don't know much about speed metal but I think the demo and EP are savage.  Great energy.  I'm check out the album when I get a chance.

That energy on the demo and EP shine through on this one as well. You should love it if you did the demo and EP.

As for speed metal them bands that I mentioned in the for fans of are all fantastic.
