MYSTIC STORM "From The Ancient Chaos" [12" LP, White Vinyl]
2021 - Thrash from Russia
Detailed Description
Mystic Storm hails from St. Petersburg, Russia, and plays a unique style of thrash mixed up with ultra heavy Bolt Thrower riffs, powerful vocals and wild speed metal melodies. The lyrics mostly concern leather-clad barbarian warriors and ancient evils from the world of Robert E. Howard and are sung in the Russian language. Musically traces can be heard of Manowar, Heavy Load, Bathory, ????, Powerlord, Vio-Lence, Sentinel Beast and Immortal - but all mixed up in a fresh new way. This might be the best underground album to surface during the 2020's.Amethyst is a new Heavy Metal band from Switzerland, formed in 2020 out of the ashes of the previous band Midas Touch. Their goal is to play Heavy Metal, as it was intended by the noble elders, straight from the hearts of the band members to pierce those of the listeners. The inspiration comes not from a specific band in particular, but rather from the sound in general of the era between 1979 and 1981, and the spirit of said time. Rock Knights is Amethyst's debut 4-song tape, out on Jawbreaker Records in March 2023.
