THE STORYTELLER – Sacred Fire
Black Lodge Records
We all love good stories
and in the past days a good storyteller was much appreciated. Also if you take
into consideration Homer or the bards then some of them also used music to tell
their stories. In a way THE STORYTELLER continue this tradition since in their
sixth official studio release they choose to tell us stories of heroes, gods
and the glorious past days. I think this is the element that gives an epic
metal touch to the sound of the band. The core, though, of their sound belongs
to heavy/power metal and especially the European one. In their music you can
recognize influences of such bands like RUNNING WILD, RIOT, BLIND GUARDIAN and
even FALCONER when they decide to add in their compositions a medieval touch.
“Sacred Fire” as an album gave me the impression that the band was really
enjoying the whole creative process and they wanted through their music to pay
tribute to the bands that have influenced them (which pretty much are the ones
that I have mentioned above) without though losing their own personal touch.
“Sacred Fire” is an album of heavy/power metal in a way that I like it,
sincere, passionate, full of imagination and fresh. THE STORYTELLER have
managed to use the clichés of the heavy/power metal we love in a way that makes
this album highly enjoyable and one of the best releases of the band. Check
them out and you won’t be disappointed…
