Although, as I'm sure most of you know by now, my poison of choice tends to be from the more extreme elements of the metal world, I often put on a new album of traditional metal and am more often than not surprised by how much I still love this style of music. War Cloud are another band who hark back to those heady days of the early eighties with their NWOBHM influenced, good-time metal - the album's eponymous track is a classic NWOBHM anthem released forty years late. They even have an instrumental, Tomahawk (my favourite track in the album) that brings back fond memories of songs like Maiden's Transylvania or Death Angel's The Ultraviolence. I give thanks to the Metal Gods that there still exists bands who can put a smile on my face with simple, unadulterated, kick-ass metal. Horns all round!
