October 2024 - Featured Release - The Guardians Edition

How's it going, fellas? As we welcome the first days of October, the noble Guardian Knights are eager to hear about a new stronghold worthy of their graceful protection. This time, it is my honor to be their knight captain, so I've striven to select an aptly grand mission in this year's debut full-length from US old-school heavy metallers Savage Oath, "Divine Battle".

Heavy metal stands strong, fellas! I find it properly heartwarming that, despite its more than fifty-year existence, the subgenre is still capable of spawning genuinely delightful records. The album boasts a proper, gritty, old-school sound, catchy, triumphant choruses, and even a slight hint of doom, mostly due to the vocal performance that, to me, sounds a lot like how Ozzy would sound if he could actually sing :]. Lately, I simply can't stop listening to this beauty. If all that sounds good to you, dive right in!
