Free Music Notes for Heading Northe
Free Music Review: Very Solid Metal Album
Hit: 5 Stars
Stormwarrior strike back with their third full-length album, which is full of big choruses, bigger riffs and screeching solos. In fact, that's what the album is all about: guitars, guitars and more guitars. This is a good thing if you like Helloween styled metal played largely at fast tempos (though the Helloween plagiarism is less evident here than on the previous two efforts). As mentioned, the songs are mostly fast and aggressive, the exception being "The Revenge of Asa Lande", which is an 'epic' sounding song that serves as a good separation from the pace of the other songs. Also of note is the singing, which has improved with the music from album to album. Lars' voice resembles Joacim Cans' (HammerFall) voice, but with more 'balls' to it. The drumming is also to be commended, as this guy is right on with whatever beat or changes he needs to make; he really propels the songs forward. So overall, if one enjoys fast-paced, straight up METAL, he will probably enjoy this, but if one is just being introduced to this type of music, should probably start with something a little safer/varied first. If one likes old Helloween, or wishes HammerFall would return to form (Glory to the Brave/ Legacy of Kings) and write a consistently good (and HEAVY) album, or is looking for a capable/consistent pure metal band to listen to between releases of other favorite bands, Stormwarrior should be high on the list.
By the way, their countrymen WIZARD play a similar style of metal, a little more Manowar-ish than Stormwarrior, but perhaps with a little more confidence and slightly better songwriting, though if you really like one band, you will no doubt like the other.

With Heading Northe Stormwarrior stay true to their music, measuring up to the highest standards - that's pure metal without any mediocrity! (2008)YEAR: 2008
