From: Tacoma, Washington
Sounds like: Metal
Children Of Seraph are a Power Metal band from Tacoma, Washington that incorporates video game and classical music influences. They recently just got back from a month long tour of Europe. "Metal Face" kicks things off with riffs galore and symphonic tendencies to appease the power metal fan straight from the start. The track is in your face and as the title suggests, it's metal that's in your face. "Sleeping Song" chugs along at a more subdued pace but still packs a punch. There's a controlled chaos on the track that really shines through. "Rainbow Road" is six minutes full of pure Metal. There's so much depth packed in the track. It's an outstanding track that brings to mind Dragonforce or Iced Earth. "Springwood Slasher" is an upbeat jaunt through the landscape of Power Metal. It rushes through with the whirlwind of sound that shows an influence of Hammerfall or even Iron Maiden. It's a top notch track. "Seraph's Awakening" is a perfectly concocted near instrumental track. There's very minimal vocals and it overall the track sounds like it'd be perfect for a climax from a video game. "Decapitator" is a driving track that'll get the listener sucked in and singing along in no time. The track has a ton of layers and is a good example of how talented the band is. "Defenders" is the shortest track on the album but still carries the flag of the true Children Of Seraph sound boldly. The track marches forward and doesn't let up. The closer "Warriors Of Light" is an epic journey through the world of Children Of Seraph. They don't hold anything back on the ten and a half minute track. If you're a fan of Metal, give the album a listen and you will find something to enjoy.
Verdict:
Children Of Seraph have an EP here that has the power of a thousand freight trains barreling towards you full speed. Power Metal lives on!
