You probably remember my review of Liege Lord\u2019s eugenic demo in Metal Forces<\/em> #8 describing them as being \u201ca potential killing machine\u201d. Well, I\u2019m just recovering from being subjected to a massive onslaught of metal courtesy of the Lord\u2019s debut piece of death.<\/p>\n

Terms like \u201cimmense\u201d, \u201cunreal\u201d and \u201cbuy or surely die\u201d you\u2019ve no doubt heard before when told about metal classics, and this album is no exception. I was honestly surprised that it\u2019s turned out so well; the production more or less being perfect and the material will surely kick your ass.<\/p>\n

All four of the demo tracks are included. The only one I was a little disappointed about was \u2018Wielding Iron Fists\u2019, but only because I didn\u2019t take to the strange mix of Andy Michaud\u2019s vocals. Elsewhere though he kills, especially on my fave \u2018For The King\u2019, which is Queensr\u00ffche in ten years time (ie when they discover it\u2019s metal we want!). Let\u2019s not beat around the bush, it\u2019s a band like Liege Lord who are the future of heavy metal, not Queensr\u00ffche!<\/p>\n

Liege Lord\u2019s new material is to the same high standards as the familiar stuff. Guitarists Tony Truglio and Pete McCarthy scorch on \u2018Vials Of Wrath\u2019, while \u2018Warrior\u2019s Farewell\u2019, \u2018Amnesty\u2019 and \u2018Legionnaire\u2019 all display a truly quality laden sense of musicianship that will take this outfit to the top, no messing.<\/p>\n
