The band seems consistent in incorporating prog rock, metal, death metal (guitars), seventies and alternative music in their own take on the metal genre. Or perhaps they are close to the…
Artist: Battle Beast Album: Steel (Nuclear Blast) Genre: Heavy metal Steel släpps för andra gången i Europa och denna gång under Nuclear Blast. Med ett högst tveksamt albumcover och en slogan som lyder ”The ugliest band in the world” så kan man ju inte annat än undra hur seriösa finska Battle Beast egentligen är. ”Ett…

Ett skönt riff på en akustisk gitarr, en snubbe i cowboyhatt med ett halmstrå i munnen. Det är inte riktigt den bilden man får när man tänker på Lamb of God. Ändå är det där första singeln ”Ghost walking” börjar. Det dröjer visserligen inte många sekunder innan stämningen slås sönder av samma riff på en…
