Title: Fearless
Label: Art Gates Records
Release Date: 11th October 2024
Hailing from Zaragoza Spain we have the awesome Kinghtsune with their highly addictive album "Fearless".
The band lineup consists of Victor Alcalá"Kendoru" Vocals,Diego Alastruey"Alas" Guitar with the Rhytmn section of Carlos Vicenteon Bass, and Rubén Castrillo on Drums this is a sublime work of art.
Opening with the title track " Fearless" these guys deliver the goods and then some with this seven-minute monster opener which is my favorite I keep returning to "Fearless" every day at least two or three times! With killer vocals from "Kendoru" and the thunderous rhythm section taking this track forward combined with vibrant riffs this is a dream start and a major heads up to their label sending this album through to me! Seriously this is a massive opening.
Things continue with the fist-pumping "A Skyfull of Ghosts" a masterclass of catchy lyrics that will ignite even the most die-hard Metal fans to hail what a stellar release this is with its power and melody combined in one amazing package.
There is a complete change of pace with "Twighlight of Heroes", this one starts slowly but builds into a true meaty classic that is a real powerhouse of a track that takes this opus to new heights of splendor with its soaring guitar work and with its enthused drums and bass, all wrapped around fantastic vocals. Its full throttle heads down fists in the air as "Under One Sound" beats and pounds into the room.
After the torrent of purebred Metal, the band brings it down a touch with the very humble tones of "The Pain I Leave" featuring Memphis Jiménez. The song is deep and meaningful and will bring a tear to even the hardest of people out there! I am not a huge fan of ballads, but see this one's worth, and its feelings shine through especially as the song builds.
The pace returns as "Forever" explodes with a lightning bolt of thunderous delight as it blasts outta ya speakers this thumps and beats like into your being. This volcanic explosion of molten metal continues to entice you and sees you raise those horns in salute to these Spanish masters, as they are joined by the mighty vocals of Elisa C. Martin on this one, it's hellishly addictive!
The fierce meltdown continues as "Pistols At Dawn" and "Purple & Green" continue to enthrall the listener as we are driven into the penultimate track "The Island" Running just short of nine minutes this monster isn't a full-throttle attack but another weapon in the band's armory, their ability to deliver pure melodic power infused music of the highest order.
The album closes as it opened, with the massive "Not Over". A real masterful ending to this work featuring the legend that is Herbie Langhans This release shows the band is going places dealing in the genres of Power Metal and Prog Metal "Fearless" is well worth checking out.
