CULT OF THE FOX “Angelsbane” /CD/

The second full-length studio album by Swedish Heavy/Doom Metal band.
Unlike the band’s debut album, "A Vow Of Vengeance", where the Swedes demonstrated their affection for pure Heavy Metal prowess in the name of what is truly sacred, and that is the genre, this here “Angelbane” tells a different story, and actually is a singular story on its whole. This time amassing to their growing army, Cult Of The Fox took notice of the darkness of traditional Heavy Metal and carried it with them to the field of battle, also with one guitarist short. Alongside the Iron Maiden, Hammerfall, Manowar and Saxon-ish orchestrations, the band rallied early Mercyful Fate (merely “Don’t Break The Oath”) and early Iced Earth characterizations and portrayals. Notwithstanding, Cult Of The Fox maintained their sheer attacking sound of 80s traditional Metal, the smothering crisp that sounds so rich and appealing. Moreover, “Angelbane” is a step forward in the band’s life cycle.
"Angelbane" is an impressive piece of traditional Metal music, ready and waiting for your loving ears to listen. 80s fans should adore this one and embrace it strongly!
Highly recommended for fans of Mercyful Fate, Portrait or In Solitude…
