FIRMAMENT - For Centuries Alive
Dying Victims Productions
Power Metal from Germany I'm shocked? I'm also joking around. When I saw this band's photo I was like please be influenced by the SCORPIONS. And no they're not. In fact they open this nine song full length with an instrumental. People who read this blog, and frankly who doesn't, know I hate opening instrumentals.
Be that as it may and despite the opening cut, this German band is good sounding Power Metal. I mean they've got all the typical tropes. We're talking about MAIDEN-esque rhythms, great clean guitar soloing, a damm good rhythm section. And of course a dynamic vocalist in Marco Herrmann.
I'm not a huge Power Metal fan but when I listen to this, their second full length since starting out in 2021, I'm like yeah this sounds exciting and it's not generic sounding bullshit. A lot of this release rocks in an old school hard rock way. Hey I'm old so I find these certain styles familiar from when I was young.
FIRMAMENT do a great job at mixing em up for a Metal music fan, regardless of age, to enjoy.
