Salem's Wych - Betrayer Of Kings (1986) Full Album

Опубликовано: 3 янв. 2016 г.

Salem's Wych from Michigan United States released only one album during their career. They play US heavy metal / early power metal with recognizable epic twist in their lyrics and melodies. Lyrically this could be an album from their country-mates Omen or Manowar, or even from Swedish Heavy Load. Lyrics tell tales epic tales about battles, devil, and death. However, lyrically this album is not one of the most cheesy ones out there, and doesn't really feature high-end fantasy, but rather something more common and realistic. The general sound and tone of the album is less flashy and just bit darker than any with any of the above mentioned three bands have. This is bit darker and heavier kind of power metal from the eighties, than say, for example Omen or Manowar. Not by it's tempo and speed, which most often is quite average, but by it's generally Kill'em All-heavy guitar sound and production, and you don't find happy melodies in Betrayer Of Kings either. It's not exactly brutal record, but unlike many power metal records from that time, it hang on neutral-dark zone.
Songs of the album are totally honest eighties heavy metal, without any mainstream or hard rock influences included. It's almost honest as it gets, without pretentious happy melodies or high-end fantasy about dragons.
