Serious Black
Serious Black is one of those bands for whom many like to assign
the "supergroup" tag -- sure, several European power metal veterans
are or were here, yet supergroup seems a bit of a stretch.
Anyway, the band was formed in 2014 and debuted a year later on
AFM
Records (naturally) with
As Daylight Breaks.
And it sounds exactly what a power metal supergroup might put out --
classic Euro power metal with a few symphonic touches and no surprises
whatsover, though the guys all are in typical top form.
Two of the bigger names have already rotated out (and replaced with
equally stalwart players), thus it's likely this band will exist
as more of a project when primary band schedules permit.
Recent album: Rise Of Akhenaton,
released on September 27, 2024.
