From: Akron, OH
Sounds like: Metal
The title track is the opener and it comes out swinging with a Thrash Metal like fury. The old school Metal vibes are strong as the whirlwind riffs and melodic vocals take hold and don't let go. The guitar solo on the track is top notch. "High King" is a near six minute track that is strictly instrumentation for the first minute of the track. There's an Iron Maiden tendency on the track as its Melodic Metal at its core. The track packs a ton of punch within its run time. "Wrathful Eyes" is another high speed Metal banger. The track is like a runaway freight train with its intensity and melody. It would be perfect for Metal radio and should be a fan favorite in no time. The closing track "Heart of a Pagan" opens with a slick little guitar riff before transitioning into the first verse. The melodic verse glides along until the crunchy chorus. The guitar work is spectacular on the track. The EP is only four tracks and that only builds even more excitement for more music from this extremely promising up and coming Metal act.
Verdict:
Metal fans rejoice! Emerald Rage are here with an EP that will captivate you for quite some time.
