VALOR are the Greek epic
power metallers who were formed back in 2002 and up to now have released one EP
and 2 full length studio albums. This single is their new release and will be out
on March 5th, during the Up the Hammers Festival warm-up show in Athens, Greece
to coincide with the band’s appearance at this year’s festival.
THE COVER: It is impressive with dark and yet intense colors and of
course underlines the epic character of the band. It shows a knight or an
ancient warrior holding his sword.
MUSICAL STYLE: VALOR through the years have achieved to create a
sound that characterizes them and it is recognizable. They, of course, have influences
from bands like MANOWAR, VIRGIN STEELE and WARLORD, but they give their own
interpretation to their influences.
COMPOSITIONS: The single includes 2 songs from which the “The Crown
of Evermore” is an original composition and carries the epic character of their
sound which owes a lot to the above mentioned bands. The other song is a cover
to ACCEPT’s classic “The King”. This is an interesting cover since the band
gave their own touch to this classic and somehow the way they covered it
reminded me of good old EDGUY.
CONCLUSION: VALOR once again stay true to their sound and the new song
that is included here will make their fans happy and can even bring some new
too. The band through the years has evolved and still offers quality works in
the epic power metal genre.
