CHEVALIER
“A Call To Arms”
(Gates Of Hell Records)
Battle Helm Rating
Finnish speed metal influenced by mainly French speed metal. Can it get any nerdier than that? I gotta say that I am the biggest nerd of them all so I am not trying to be clever r smart or even funny. This reminds me of Belgium’s Acid in so many ways that I can just sit here with a big grin on my face. They had me by the tag line “raw Speed Metal from Finland influenced by US Epic/Power Metal and Euro Metal (French Speed Metal in particular)”. I mean, how could anybody fail with that description? So if you like you metal at the speed of light and don’t mind a bit of nostalgia this is the album to check out. Anders Ekdahl
