\nGothenburg heavy metallers SCARBLADE return with \u201cGuardians Of Time\u201d, a nine-track charge of traditional metal sharpened by modern production and a strong melodic streak. Alicke Kostopoulou leads the attack with a commanding voice, while the band piles on galloping riffs, punchy hooks and just enough darkness to keep the steel from shining too cleanly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The title track makes the mission statement clear from the start: classic heavy metal bones, a strong melodic spine and enough drive to feel built for the stage. \u201cThe Walls\u201d and \u201cReady For Action\u201d keep the momentum high, while \u201cCraving Heart\u201d leans harder into the band\u2019s more anthemic side.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlive\u201d hits with extra speed and aggression, then \u201cJudas Kiss the Serpent\u201d darkens the atmosphere before the riffs start moving again. \u201cDamnation\u201d works from a heavier midtempo base, and \u201cA Sign of Heaven\u201d begins in a more restrained mood before opening into one of the album\u2019s biggest melodic moments.<\/p>\n
Closer \u201cBlind\u201d finishes things with a final burst of energy, wrapping the record in the same balance of muscle and melody that runs through the entire album. \u201cGuardians Of Time\u201d is not trying to reinvent heavy metal; it simply understands the language and speaks it with conviction.<\/p>\n
