ANTIOCH
- Gates Of Obliteration
Iron Shield Records
Canada has long been a source of dynamic and
high-quality bands in the metal music scene, and Antioch is no exception. With
the release of their new album, *Gates Of Obliteration*, set for September 27,
2024, the band continues to strengthen this tradition, delivering an album
brimming with intensity, passion, and character.
This album is deeply rooted in the classic sound of
Judas Priest, a source of inspiration that Antioch proudly embraces and
evolves, adding their own distinct mark. This influence is immediately apparent
in the track "Onward with Obliteration," which pulses with speed and
energy, strongly reminiscent of the Exciter's aesthetic. The contrasts and
diverse influences persist in the song "Understand," where the fusion
of Running Wild, Accept, and 3 Inches of Blood creates an explosive result that
is sure to thrill any heavy metal enthusiast.
However, Antioch doesn’t simply replicate or rehash
the past. Their "epic" moments, scattered throughout the album, carry
the power of Manowar, adding depth and complexity to the overall work.
Another highlight worth mentioning is the voice of
Nicholas Allaire. His performance on *Gates Of Obliteration* is a blend of
influences from legendary vocalists like Cronos (Venom), Cam Pipes (3 Inches of
Blood), Udo, and King Diamond. The result is a vocal delivery that perfectly
complements the style and philosophy of Antioch.
In conclusion, Antioch does not disappoint with *Gates
Of Obliteration*. They remain true to their roots and their beloved genre,
offering an album full of classic heavy metal infused with modern energy and
emotion. Once again, they prove they know how to win over the hearts of their
fans.
