Stormwarrior
Still more Germanic power metal, hardly surprising from a band
called Stormwarrior that features song titles such as
"Heavy Metal Fire", "Sons Of Steele", "Heroic Deathe", and
the like.
And, frankly, it's hard to take band like this seriously,
what with stage names such as Thunder Axe,
Black Sword, and the like, particularly since they themselves
do take this seriously.
Early
Helloween
is the prime reference here, with traces of
Manowar
and
Running Wild
thrown in as well.
One thing going for them is that Lars Ramcke's vocals
are more throaty, meaning he's far less prone to wail
and scream like many of his contemporaries.
Elsewhere, though, all the trademarks of prime Germanic
speed/power metal are here, with plenty of speedy riffs
and anthemic choruses that fans of this style crave.
So, strictly a band for the converted, but at least they do
perform the style well.
