BLAZON STONE
”Down in the Dark”
(Stormspell Records)
Battle Helm Rating
I might be totally off but I get some really strong Running Wild vibes from this band’s name. It can just be that I really want to hear some really cool pirate metal or that there is a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie out that triggers that urge. But it does start on a happy note. The Running Wild vibe continues even after the music has started. And that makes me a happy sailor. This is some really cool pirate power metal. You can almost feel the sing along aboard a ship. How the crew cheers and drinks beer. It is almost like I want to do the jig here when I listen to this. This is like a really needed blood infusion. You get all warm and happy when you listen to this album. Anders Ekdahl
