Genre: heavy metal

If you like solid traditional heavy metal, then Northern Irish metal band Stormzone should be right up your alley. On "Zero to Rage", they deliver impeccable heavy metal, characterized by that metal magic that was the defining features of quality metal back in the 80s.

Lots of strong riffage and lots of melody - this album has it. But we are not dealing with a purely retro heavy metal album. In addition to the obvious traditional metal and hard rock elements that are ubiquituous on the album, there is at times a certain power metal-esque grandeur and epicness to be heard. Some of the choruses have that same big catchiness that you hear in a lot of power metal these days - and it doesn't exactly make things worse that Stormzone's singer John Harbinson has a powerful voice that adds an extra oomph to the vocal melodies.

Fans of hard rock, traditional metal and power metal are likely to adore this release - so if you're looking for a last-minute Christmas present for your metal loving uncle, then look no further.
