God of the Deep Unleashed – Wrathblade (2017)
Genre: Power Metal

Oh my ****ing good god! This band HAS to be a power metal band! Wrathblade? Wrath-****ing-blade? And a cover like that? If this isn't power metal I'll eat me hat. I don't have a hat. Okay, I'll buy a hat, and then eat it. This has to be power metal. Look at those song titles: “Transcendent Essence.” “Enter the Warrior's Guild (Doomopolis Pt II)”. “Castration of Uranus”. I am not making these up, I swear!

So anyway, yeah: it's a sub-Maiden power metal album that seems a little too close to Bruce and the boys than I'd prefer. Interesting start: thought it would be one of those stupid, cliched narrations, but it was basically a kind of acapella folky thing. Not bad. The album took something of a dive after it, though. Doesn't help that the guy is at the very best a bog-standard singer. Yeah, this is just awful. Near the end, the playback just stopped, for no reason. I naturally assumed it was the media player trying desperately to save me by putting a stop to this terrible, derivative music. Sadly, after a short pause it started up again. But it won't be doing that again, I can tell you.
