REVELATIONS
(The track)
...
The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

Bind all of us together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free,
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain,
For the one who will be King
Is the Watcher in the Ring.
It is You.
It is You.
/ Bruce Dickinsson, Iron Maiden

Review of the album.
 
 First of all, I just want to mention
that the image above and the text extract from Revelations (Iron Maiden)
that´s just a homage from SMM.
 
 You who followed REVELATIONS in the past will get exactly what you want.
Raw brutal, yet melodic Hard Rock and Heavy Metal
with influences retrieved 30-40 years back in time.
 
Some past singles have found their way onto the album even though they are a few years old.
They do so for sure, for they are damn good.
 
For those who do not know the band, if you like (And who does not?)
Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy or Judas Priest
then it's only to get the album as soon as you can lay your hands on it.
 
Since I have a certain penchant for heavier music,
my favorite songs (of the new) is 
"Son of Morning", "Nowhere Near the Sun" and "Gatekeeper"
But here is something for everyone without the album spreading in a disturbing way.
Here you have the classic Hard Rock of the 70s,
you have Heavy Metal in its purest form,
and you even have a touch of a little garage rock.
 
Down at the links you will find a link to a previous interview we made with the band.
Check it out.
And last, if you do not see them live, do it they're damn good.
