The album of the German band has 8 tracks, even if the display says 66! Running time: 66:06 min, what a joke!
Okay, let's talk about the music! It's obvious that the quintet is influenced by the metal of the early / mid-80's. Especially Helloween's early releases (Hansen era) had influenced them, but also bands like Jag Panzer (vocals, partly...) and Metal Church. Solemnity is a fast song, a heavy rocker with breaks. The choirs are big and are an important part of the track. It's the kind of US metal we all remember from the late 80's. Screaming guitars, pounding bass and fast double bass drum is what the songs offer, the vocals are not always high pitched as we know it from many bands of the US metal genre. Sometimes the vocals of Sven 'The Axe' are mean, sometimes serene. Listen to the title track to get an idea what to expect from the quintet. With Chalice Of Blood they have recorded a powerful track which starts balladesque and then speeds up. But most tracks are fast ones.
Actually the band from Augsburg recorded their debut last year, but is now released by Remedy Records. Reign In Hell was recorded at Music Factory and mastered at the famous Eroc Mastering Ranch where bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest mastered their albums.
Check out the metal underground and listen to this album! Support the underground, even if this is not a masterpiece, but a decent debut!
