Victorius - "Rise From The Flames" (album stream)
Οι Victorius της συγκεκριμένης ανάρτησης (γιατί υπάρχουν και οι Γερμανοί power metallers) μας έρχονται από την Σκωτία. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από δεκατρία έτη. Την επόμενη χρονιά διαλύθηκαν και δημιούργησαν τους Pariah, οι οποίοι έμειναν ενεργοί μέχρι το 2011. Προ τριετίας οι Victorius επαναδραστηριοποιήθηκαν.
Ως προς το μουσικό τους ύφος; Μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι «a NWOBHM / Thrash inspired band hailing from Dundee and Glasgow» κι αναφέρουν ως επιρροές μπάντες όπως οι Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament, Annihilator, Motorhead, Satans' Empire, Diamond Head, Overkill, Black Sabbath κλπ.
Προ ημερών κυκλοφόρησαν τον πρώτο "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο, υπό τον τίτλο "Rise from the Flames", την οποίο μπορείτε -στην παρούσα ανάρτηση- να ακούσετε. Είχαν προηγηθεί ένα demo και δύο EPs.
Δελτίο τύπου: «Victorius were formed back in 2007, keeping alive the old school heavy metal sounds. Winning over every crowd they played to, they soon found themselves supporting large acts such as Skid Row, Paradise Lost and 3 inches of Blood.
With a growing momentum, Victorius hit creative differences and eventually split, and formed another band known as Pariah. They kept the pot boiling for a while as Pariah, but never fully realised the potential, with more line up changes here and there and then a hiatus for a number of years.
In January 2017 three quarters of the original Victorius line-up (John Brandon, John Gibbons and Ryan Shepherd) decided to get together and with the addition of a new rhythm guitarist (Arroll Kelly) the band rapidly played their way to the Metal to the Masses finals in Glasgow.
This spurred them on to get back into the game and start writing new songs and work on recording an album. However, Arroll moved to the States leaving the band needing a new rhythm guitarist and some large shoes to fill. Stewart Kennedy filled the spot with ease and the Band was back to full strength.»
