1967/ 1976
It's not easy to classify the Sacred Steel in a specific sub-genre. Conceptually, at least in this "Wargods of Metal", their 2nd album, can be seen as a version closer to the Power Metal of Manowar. But just because Germans. But this is not correct. At the end I think that Sacred Steel are good in Power Metal field, but only because they work in Power Metal era.
This album is a sort of concept as the same level of Manowar concept. But if you search original music I think that in this album original music is present. Great vocals, great power of a dynamic drummer, great guitars, great emotions and great power. As Power Metal genre requires power and technique are in first plan but the songs are only arranged in Power Metal genre because Omen's "Battle Cry" seems written by them, because that is practically equal to their songs. If I find fault is that when they want to add a little speed metal to their music becomes a little too rock and roll but without the Punk charge that would make sense.
The production and mix enhance a dynamism that is not merely an expression of higher technical, but also of higher writing.
Adept at mixing all sub-genres derived from Traditional Heavy Metal, Sacred Steel can only win our hearts of Defenders of The Faith!
I could write a review song by song. I prefer to have written it so, since this is an album that is heard many times and that the words can not describe.
