SACRED HEART has been an ongoing concern since 2006, with Ahmed Shahyd as the guitarist and founder. Inspiration comes from thrash, but also from melodic and progressive metal, plus Japanese Anime soundtracks! This is the band\u00b4s second album, originally released in 2008, but the third album, plus Shahyn\u00b4s second solo album, are already in the works for 2011. Are there recipient fans for this massive output?<\/p>\n<p>I wonder actually. This is an album of contradictions. On one hand there is the beautiful guitar orientated instrumental tracks, such as \u201cInfinity Reloaded\u201d and the title track. There is also the vocal version of the title track, a slow but moving piece with guests Shaani and Fal. But you better brace yourself when vocalist Ali Ashraf grabs the mike. The closest thing might be Scots CELEBRAL BORE, but they aren\u00b4t in the business of beautiful instrumental music\u2026at all. Ali growls in a machine like way, just about the worst vocals since someone recorded the sounds of a screwdriver hitting the food mixer at full throttle. This may well work in the Far East, where extremes are generally well-received. But in Europe it\u00b4s a different bag all together\u2026  This is not my bag anyway, but it would have been had they stuck to the stunning instrumental stuff. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nBeast of Darkness<br \/>\nBlack Velvet Part 1<br \/>\nForgot<br \/>\nGods Legends<br \/>\nDragon Wars<br \/>\nInfinity Reloaded<br \/>\nUndying Heart (For My Eternal Love)<br \/>\nUndying Heart (Featuring Shaani and Fal)<\/p>\n<p>www.rockngrowl.com www.myspace.com\/sacredl3gacy <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sacred Legacy The Maldives; sun, sandy beaches, vacations, picturesque, and now also death\/thrash metal!
