Death Of A Hero

by Bakken

supported by

Thomas Anderson Very good Hard Rock effort here. Vocals lean toward James Hetfield styling which is never a bad thing. A collection of good songs to work out to and jam on the headphones. Check out killer track "Back to the Future" a standout double bass drum driven opening with great riffs that soar over the pre chorus and some nice breaks that lead into hard rocking epic jams . Must have album for metal/hard rock fans who enjoy Metallic or Iron Maiden. Favorite track: Bakken - Darkest Day.

Morts Gutsy, epic speed/power metal with touches of symphonic metal! If you're already interested I urge you to have a listen cuz Bakken is a top notch band! One of the aspects that make this band stand out is that the guitars are edgier, grittier, less smooth than the norm, more like a battle hardened warrior than a technical tactician! Absolutely brilliant!! Favorite track: Bakken - Voyage Of Aodh.

Ashley Strutt Another of those albums that I loved at first listen..bought the CD version because I like to buy things that way. Its lived in the car cd player ever since.

Indian band unleashes "epic" power metal, or trad heavy metal, in their sophomore full-length album, after a live one and an EP. It's not mind-blowing, but it is nevertheless a lot of fun to listen to. Sounding a bit like old-school underrated thrashy outfits, maybe like Jag Panzer and the like, they deliver groovy headbangers, but they tend to be a bit too "mechanical", following the protocol for a successful recipe they used before. Not utterly innovative, but a lot of FUN!! sachavonkarl74
