PRODIGAL SONS

The debut full-length studio album by Italian Heavy Metal band.
Prodigal Sons plays 80s-based Heavy Metal. During the seven years of existence, they had only released a couple of demo works before. 
Thankfully, the band does not try to focus too much on the epic side of Heavy Metal, like a lot of fellow Italian bands unsuccessfully do the last years. Prodigal Sons smartly put a limit on their US Metal influence and mainly try to focus on straightforward Heavy Metal with galloping rhythms, melodic riffs and lead themes.
The album is not bad at all and successfully stays away from any cheesy Power Metal. It can sound interesting to younger Metal fans, who mainly praise Iron Maiden, Virgin Steele, early Fates Warning, Bling Guardian, Rapsody, etc.
My Graveyard Productions, 2012 (MGP-083). Made in Italy. First press.
