Whitesnake is back with another album of sleazy hard rock. While the first few singles were just okay, here we have them really piling on the 80s anthemic sound. With the shout-style chorus, they almost sound like Def Leppard!
Enforcer is here to revive the classic sound of metal from the early 80s, full of energy and speed, and not much else. And I mean that in a good way! Seriously, this is about as straight-forward and classic as it gets!
I can't help it! If it's fast, epic, and melodic, I'm gonna love it! Here we have Frozen Crown, a newer power metal band from Italy, and this song is giving me a massive last 90s power metal vibe, like Stratovarius or Edguy or Fourth Legacy era Kamelot! Amazing!!
The album this one comes from is titled In Another Time, which is very appropriate for this piece 70s metal. Adding in some folky and proggy elements, this sounds somewhere between early Rush and early Rainbow, but with dual guitar leads like Kansas!
Well, this is different. Taking their progressive metal roots and adding in a dash of anthemic 80s sounds, Mind Key makes it a great track of epic melodic metal. Aurelio Fierro Jr's voice is what really holds it together, having that right mix of gritty and charismatic elements. Italy knows how to make some great prog!
Let's end with another throwback rock artist, The Vintage Caravan. This trio seems to live in the late-60s, early-70s, calling up vibes one would get from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac, and Blue Oyster Cult. Between the smooth vocals and psychedelic noodling, there's a lot to like here!
