CUSTARD - IMPERIUM RAPAX

#review

BAND Custard

ALBUM IMPERIUM RAPAX

LABEL PURE STEEL RECORDS

OUT Dec 3rd, 2021

OUR RATING 80/100

Four years past since ´A Realm Of Tales´ the band from Westphalia comes around with their 7th album entitled IMPERIUM RAPAX.

The band led by singer Olli Strasser provide a complete album where power metal elements meet classic and epic features.

The songs are even more sophisticated, enhanced by a powerful production.

This time the band used the topic of the Roman Empire; battle hymns alternating with more emotional and thoughtful moments, all enriched by gorgeous solo parts to remark.

Ten new songs, one intro and three cinematic interludes in this new platter, where, among others, CHILDREN OF THE WOLF, BLOOD AND SAND and THE GODDESS OF MAGIC AND DEATH are our highlights.

In the last one we remind, as special guest, Marta Gabriel of polish Crystal Viper.

Another great album to suggest!
