On the shoulders of giants...
Genre: traditional heavy metal
Thunderheart is a Spanish traditional heavy metal trio. Although formed in 2014, its members are by no means noobies and have been involved in several bands, such as opus Dead, Calibre Zero, Steel Horse, and Wild.
And their experience definitely shows on Thunderheart's debut album "Night of the Warriors". It is very clear that this band know exactly what they are doing and what they want to achieve, as the songs on this album feature all the aesthetics of 80s metal. Every song is a tribute to the likes of Judas Priest, Running Wild, Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Accept. And, as heard in the chorus of 'Killing My Fears', there is a slight touch of power metal, while 'Rules of a Lie' pays homage to Black Sabbath.
There is not much originality on this album, but that does not mean that the songwriting and musicianship are not up to scratch... because they are. Every song is solid, and this album definitely does justice to the legacy of the giants of 80s metal - in terms of composition, performance, and production.
Fans of 80s metal should definitely check this album out.
