ARMORY - Black Star EP
Dying Victims Productions
And here we have a actual 7"er from a Swedish Speed Metal band. OK full disclosure I missed out on this band's 2024 full length Mercurion. After listening to these two songs "Black Star" and the flip "Solar Winds" I'm disappointed in myself because ARMORY sound pretty damm cool.
For those of you also in the un-knowing ARMORY are a five piece act from Gothenburg, Sweden. They've been around since 2012. They've got three full lengths out plus a live album. And here we have their first EP which you could say is for their fanbase which must be huge.
Sound-wise yes this is Speed Metal in the Euro sense as opposed to the US stuff. The band is also strongly in with Traditional Metal influences. And if ya want to go for a stretch I'd say if you're into the early days of Power Metal then here's a band worth checking out. This EP would make an easy gateway.
Musically ARMORY are all about the cosmos or in other words space phenomenon and sci-fi subject matter. Their music contains the riff worthy speed plus bits of melody. I think vocalist Petrus Andersson has a great singing style. He's got a varied range which is perfect for Speed Metal and anything else.
