In general, “Deadrisen” has influences of the Metal masters from the 1990s as Primal Fear, and Judas Priest’s “Painkiller” era. However, and ever, some influences of the Priest with Tim “The Reaper” Owen. The album is strong and powerful full of big guitars and killer vocals. Opening track “Risen Death AD.” shows the power very well. It’s strong and jawbreaking with prominent keyboards that mutate as their will their sound helping guitars and doing all kinds of noises and sonances. “The Maker,” for instance, has the perfect balance between 1990s Metal and the sonance of Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow during the 1980s. It is incredible the mix of a striking sonance and the melody which comes from the band. It’s as if Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow had come back with a new, and astonoshing, sonance. Primal Fear meet Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow sums up really well what happen in here. In my opinion, of course. But the best is yet to come as a Cirith Ungol fan. Eighth track “Fear and Fury” kicks off with an Ungol taste which, unfortunatelly, is soon left behind. But, whatever…
Bottom line, “Deadrisen” is an album for the fan who likes the comes and goes of Metal music. For the fan who likes Metal music and its ironies and dialects that appear in songs as “Reach for the Sun” and its melodic guitars and epic cadence. By the way, ninth track “But You” prepares the ground to the cover of Metallica’s “For Whom the Bells Toll” with its hard and killing cadence.
Deadrisen “Deadrisen” was released on March 13th via AFM Records.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
