Some bands do everything right - they
have the necessary instrumental skills to do almost anything they want, they
have the support from a reliable label but they fail when it comes to song
writing and originality. The German band Sacred Steel is one of those unlucky
ones. "Wargods Of Metal" is in itself a pretty ridiculous title for an album
and your thoughts wander straight off to Manowar. The song titles all follow
the same pattern and even though I admire Manowar for what they have done for
the sake of metal in the past I have never been a big fan of their
pre-adolescent lyrical concept. Even though the music of this album is pretty
enjoyable and even impressive at times it is too basic and standard power /
heavy metal material in the European vein that will do little to raise an
eyebrow. It is for sure a heavy album and it even has some progressive touches
which is something that I like about it. The biggest problem I have with
Sacred Steel is their vocalist. I can't decide on whether I like him or not.
His voice is not really made for singing but it still has something special to
it. A decent album that could please hardcore Manowar fans but nothing that
sticks to my mind for very long.
