BAND UNCHAINED HORIZON

ALBUM Fallen Kingdom

LABEL PURE STEEL RECORDS

OUT Sept 30th, 2022

OUR RATING 80/100

Five years later after LAST MAN STANDING, German HM band UNCHAINED HORIZON is ready to unleash the new chapter entitled FALLEN KINGDOM, available on Sept 30th, 2022 on PURE STEEL RECORDS.

A great step ahead for a band more epic and heavy then ever!

The new songs were recorded at renowned Soundlodge Studio Rhauderfehn (Anvil, Dew Scented) and at Tonmeisterei Oldenburg. Mixing and mastering took place at Audiostahl/Robert Romagna.

Due to the stable line-up of the last few years and - despite the pandemic - the live presence of the band, the songs sound compact and as made of one piece.

FALLEN KINGDOM offers classic HM British inspired, enriched by subtle epic and a certain dramaturgy.

You can feel it since STRANGER, preceded by an intro; classic HM with some 80’s influences, from Maidens to Saxon, among others.

In BENEATH THE ICE the structure is more various, with a central break garnished with a fancy arpeggio and a fast restart.

LOST WORDS is a brilliant instrumental with great solo parts, followed by THE MARKSMAN, one of our favorite.

In THROUGH THE STORM they exalt again their epic side, while FALLEN KINGDOM is maybe the song which remains more impressed.

After BEAST WITHIN, BRIDGE TO NOWHERE ends in the best way a brilliant album that WE SUGGEST!!
