After some consideration about the band’s name something triggered my memory and I went to check the band at Metal Addicts’ database. It happens that I have reviewed the band’s 2021’s album “And the Beauty They Perceive.” Memory is such a thing. If memory serves me right, as I recall it “Flight of the Wounded” sounds a bit different from “And the Beauty They Perceive.” Back then I wrote that Teramaze’s music was too sugared. Well, now I see the bands Prog Metal influences here in “Flight of the Wounded” and they aren’t that sugared. Ok, just a little bit as “Dangerous Me” showcases with its sticky chorus and the keyboards and pianos. The impression I got is that the album goes pouring sugar each track as album opener and tittle track “Flight of the Wounded” sounded pretty Prog Metal to me. Not the story that penultimate track “Battle” tells being much more Hair Metal related. Fun fact is that album grand finale “In the Ruins of Angels” brought me all the memories I had about the previous album being related to Def Lepard’s “Hysteria.”
The band’s idea to the album cover is fantastic. It is a world upside down whatever does it mean. Connecting the dots from what I’ve said about the music in the album it makes a lot of sense. It starts pretty much Prog Metal to then goes pouring sugar and sugar until it gets a Hair Prog Metal, if this exists. Ok, as I said in the previous album review, I do like sugared albums. Just a thought though.
Teramaze “Flight of the Wounded” will be released on October 06th via Wells Music.

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!
