Stormspell Records did not only just
release the new Hypertension-album on CD, as usual they've got a lot
of interesting stuff coming out at once. One of the releases they
have to offer this time is the first EP by the Portuguese band Deadly
Force, who delivers some impressive heavy metal played the good old
way.
The closest parallel to draw would probably be post-2000 Iron Maiden, much because of the fact that the vocalist Flavio Lino sounds a lot like Bruce Dickinson has done the last 15 years or so. But musically, this is way more traditional and down to earth, no 10+ minutes songs as far as the eye can see. Yet there's always still an epic feeling present though, who says songs must be super long to be epic? With that said, I still think that this band would definitely be able to create something more ambitious on future releases. It will be interesting to follow them, If you're a fan of Iron Maiden and their countless apprentices, you should check this out. And who doesn't like Maiden? 7/10 /H
