Intense - "Songs of a Broken Future" (album stream)
Οι Intense μας έρχονται από την Αγγλία. Δημιουργήθηκαν το μακρινό 1991, αλλά ουσιαστικά ξεκίνησαν να δισκογραφούν στην παρούσα χιλιετία (στα 90ς είχαν μόνο demos κι ένα ep). Χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους κάπως έτσι: «the Darker Side of Power Metal, influenced by the UK/US side of things more than the European melodic side».
Εν έτει 2020 επέστρεψαν δισκογραφικά μετά από εννέα χρόνια. Ο διάδοχος του album "The Shape of Rage" (2011) και τέταρτος συνολικά δίσκος των Βρετανών metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "Songs of a Broken Future" και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών.
Δελτίο τύπου: «Intense hail from the UK and released their first EP back in 1997, it’s been nine years since their last release but at long last, the new album is ready to be unleashed on the Metal world. Vocalist Sean Hetherington and Guitarist Nick Palmer are founding members but the current line up has been together since 2004.
The listener might think at first contact that Intense would be another one of these countless formations that play in the style of the unbreakable NWOBHM. The blood of Saxon, Demon and all the legends is of course in their blood, but Intense are more influenced by the darker side of power metal like Iced Earth and Nevermore among others.
The fourth work of Intense represents a fresh cell treatment for British Heavy Metal, Power Metal with sense and reason which is rock sold on the achievements of its own history.»
