Eternal Champion
 

One of the more refreshing albums from the last decade. The first 4 tracks here are the makings of a great career. I just wish they were a bit more industrious.

Information on them is kind of a PITA, so here's an interview with the frontman if you're interested: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2016...rnal-champion/

Sweet Baby J, just when I thought the 2020 come back was fading, the greatest of the NWOTHM bands drops this bomb directly into my front teeth.

Those covers are just wow.

I think that counts as high art in Texas. Kidding, Texas, I love you.

Edit: adidasss - try the first album. I'm just listening to the new one now. Can't really review it.

I started playing it actually but classic metal is not really my thing.

That's fair. Oh well. Hey, are you doing a "Best of 202" list here or anywhere? I'd love to get your thoughts on what was good this year.

Yes, I posted it here although I'm not sure how much are tastes overlap.

Good. If our tastes overlapped I wouldn't have asked.

Cool stuff. The style of the guitar reminds me a little of Iron Savior.
