DoomSword

Often Italian metal bands tend toward the neoclassical field a la Rhapsody Of Fire or Labyrinth, but DoomSword has a different take on epic metal. Musically the band occupies the middle ground between traditional power metal and doom, as the mood and pace are generally slower and darker than power metal but not as ponderous as most doom bands. The songs are rich and majestic without being overblown, complementing the Viking overtones of the lyrics. With so many European epic metal bands taking the tried and true route of upbeat speed metal, it's refreshing to hear a band like DoomSword do something that is both strongly reminiscient of the past yet still with a fresh outlook.
