This band thinks they play black metal. They cover “Leather Rebel” by Judas Priest. It sounds fine, but it just sounds like heavy metal with growled vocals. They have talent, especially with the guitars, which sound like the band is dying to play traditional power metal, instead of melodic death. What I don’t care for is the indecisiveness of the music.

It sounds too forced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
