Astralion – Outlaw (July 8, 2016)

In the last ten years, Finland has risen to become one of the world’s most potent suppliers of Heavy Metal and Outlaw has all the ingredients to make the discerning heavy metal fan smile with satisfaction. Bands such as Sonata Arctica, Thunderstone, Hammerfall, Stratovarius, early Blind Guardian and Yngwie Malmsteen are the most noticeable influences of Astralion‘s sound. That means broad choruses, voluminous melodies, racing guitar attacks as well as subtle neo-progged 6-string interludes. The band’s motto says it all: Forget the dragon, forget the sword – here’s true power from the chord! (from Amazon)
