September 2025 Feature Release - The Guardians Edition

Another month flies by, which means it's time to nominate a new feature release for The Guardians & this time I'm going to go with one new-ish record I like to reach for when in need of a quick AD&D nostalgia hit - "Wild Rites and Ancient Songs" (2023), from US heavy metallers Blazon Rite. I'll admit that the vocal performance could be described as quite peculiar, although personally, I can easily get behind the "ol' drunken friend at the tavern" vibe. Recommended for fantasy enjoyers!
