ALBUM TIME ASSASSIN

LABEL HEAVY METAL RECORDS

OUT March 11th, 2022

OUR RATING 88/100

CLOVEN HOOF, legendary cult #nwobhm band well-known on our pages, is ready to unleash the new album TIME ASSASSIN, available on HEAVY METAL RECORDS on March 11th, 2022.

This is probably the heavier and epic release than ever by the band led by Lee Andre Payne and It features the last part to the “Dominator” saga.

GUARDIANS OF THE UNIVERSE starts the new album with driving riffs and bass lines, helped by pressing drums and vocals soar that tells the beginning of the end for the Dominator.

Powerful and epic start.

If LIQUIDATOR is a song built on ferocious riffs and sharp vocals, LORDS OF DEATH, after a moment of suspense, is epic, squared and lilting.

They go on with AFTER FOREVER that, after an intro, shows the more epic side of the band, thanks to vocals by George Call, another confirm.

The title track is on the same line with a galloping riff that melds together with some seriously groovy melodies.

BELTANE FIRE starts squared but shows more thoughtful moments, while HIGHWAYMAN is a classic HM song pressing and powerful.

TOKYO KNIGHTS is a brilliant tune opened by an acoustic part, while CARNIVAL OF LOST SOULS ends in the best way a stunning album.

PROUD OF THEIR ROOTS BUT LOOKING FORWARD!! CLOVEN HOOF ARE BACK..BE WARNED!!!
