HELMS DEEP - Treacherous Ways review


 

HELMS DEEP - Treacherous Ways

Nameless Grave Records


As everyone who reads this site (and frankly who doesn't) knows I'm a RAVEN fan. So when a John Gallagher of RAVEN (bass and vocals) side project comes along all hell yeah I'm interested. Add to this is present RAVEN drummer Mike Heller and guitarist / vocalist Alex Sciortino. But actually this is Alex Sciortino as mainman with RAVEN's rhythm section.


With that all said this is pretty fantastic sounding stuff. This is total NWOBHM worshiping material with a plus on a modern thrust. Alex Sciortino has an amazing heavy metal scream presence as well as a real guy vocal. Guitar wise the guy has some amazing solos on here to make Glen Tipton go "whoa?" Plus the riffs and song arrangements are cool.


Alex Sciortino and company sound like the second coming of the next new wave of old school sounding metal. Damm I'm old and I love it to death (cue heavy metal scream).
