Preface: Due to the already mentioned ongoing problems with Facebook, there are a few changes concerning the Epic Metal Blog. Since we will be limiting ourselves to Instagram from now on, there will be more time for other activities. One result of this recent development is the new category Have a listen, in which we briefly introduce you to new releases that you should check out. We start today with Bronze – “Realm of the Damned“…

Probably all our readers have noticed by now: The Spanish heavy metal band Kramp is meanwhile called Bronze. Front singer Mina, one of our most loyal readers, has also brought prominent support on board: Ced Forsberg from Blazon Stone. This sounds like a bit of an underground supergroup – no wonder that many have been waiting very eagerly for the first musical sign of life.

“Realm of the Damned“ is a classic heavy metal tune that would make an excellent album or show opener: Straightforward, to the point – with a riff reminiscent of the glorious eighties. Ced also plays leads that stay in the ear. Mina convinces, as expected, with very individual-sounding vocals and vocal lines that are definitely not of the shelf. So the recognition value is high – a very important factor, because especially in the classic metal genre many bands sound quite the same and therefore get lost in the flood of releases.

In short: Bronze is worth keeping an eye on. I am already sure that their debut full length album will reach the level of the last Kramp release and maybe even top it. Mina is back – and that’s great.
