Attacker - Giants of Canaan

[JamesEagle]

I haven't listened to anything by this band before (as far as I can remember) but liking what I've heard of this one so far. Some good reviews online, e.g. :

I've seen this described as Power Metal, but I think it's straight ahead Heavy Metal, in the Maiden and Priest vein. There have been a lot of new bands in this style lately, such as Enforcer, Katana, etc. I haven't been able to get into these bands, but the songs on this new Attacker album sound much better to me:

 

 

 

Any takers?

Not bad but not really my cup of tea....of all the bands they list, the only one I used to listen to is Seven Witches and I wasn't a big fan...........

Yeah, having listened to some of these songs again I've gone off it a bit. I might just download 'The Glen of the Ghost', which sounds like a really good metal song to me.
