BLOOD OF KINGS “Starvation”

BLOOD OF KINGS
“Starvation”
(My Graveyard)
For some reason I came to think of Manowar when I saw this band’s name. Don’t know what it is about the name but to me it screams massive heavy metal overload. Ever since I got to hear Doomsword I’ve been waiting for another band to come along with a massive epic metal sound. Perhaps it will be BLOOD OF KINGS. To my disappointment this has nothing to do with either Manowar or Doomsword. To tell you the truth I have no idea where to really place this. There is a thrash feel to it but then there are the vocals. Kinda high pitched in a whiny kinda way. I have a really hard time thinking of any bands that this might remind me of. I know that in the back of my head I have some names that would fit as references but the best I can come up with right now is Forced Entry and some Staten Island band that have Savage in its name. Not the greatest references but then that obscure I find BLOD OF KINGS metal to be. And in all of this I find myself liking what I hear. There is a charm to this that is hard to put down.
