MOUNTAIN THRONE
”Stormcoven”
(Cyclone Empire)
I’m a huge sucker for epic metal. Say what you like about Manowar but when they are good they are fucking great. I love that kind of no barrels metal that dares to be greater than life itself. I’ve found new faves in Italian Doomsword and Chilean Bewitched and perhaps in this German lot too. It starts promising. This is perhaps not so much epic as it is power or just plain heavy metal. But that does not make this any worse. There is though a sense of epicness to the music that gives it that otherworldly kind of sense. This is a good piece of metal plastic. There is a doom feeling to this that adds to the whole greater than thee feeling that there is to this album. Anders Ekdahl
