We also do the occasional article now as well dont-ch-ya-know!
While a good amount of power metal would make any hard rock fundamentalist protest outside of their closest European embassy, there’s gold to be found among the swords and wolves and occasionally, but still quite often comparably, dragons. Take Enbound, hailing from Sweden, whose melodic metal machinations have produced some very fun fare indeed since their formation in 2006. It retains most of the power metal fromage, but it’s got a bit of bite to it to really drive it all home. Don’t worry, those who like their power metal traditional, there’s more than enough here for you too – between the wailing chant of an opening, the wailing follow up battle cry and the wailing guitar solo, this blood still beats through a heart of pure cheese.
Which leads us nicely into another closing paragraph introduction to Combined the Souls; yet another fantastic Rock Song of the Week pick by us. I don’t know how we do it so consistently. Before I pat my own back so much I beat myself to death, here’s one for the video watchers; make sure to wonder why the band didn’t consider shaving before they put on the gold paint. If you ever wanted to know what Cesar Romero might look like as a Bond girl, here’s your chance! I can’t say I’m not slightly concerned, but at least you have an outlet for it now.
If you like what you hear, please consider purchasing via Bandcamp if the option is available as this is usually the best way to support the artist.
