| | Description: | DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORDâ??s highly anticipated
debut album, Blood Hails Steel â?? Steel Hails Fire, on CD, cassette and vinyl LP formats.
It was but November of last year when MEGATON SWORD unleashed their glorious debut
EP, Niralet, via DYING VICTIMS. Arriving fully formed, virtually without warning â?? no prior
demo recordings existed, at least not publicly â?? this Swiss quartet evinced an ages-old
sound that was wise (and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON
SWORD knew the mystery of steelâ?¦and wielded it with a startling confidence. And no one
knew just how high they could fly, only that they were just getting started.
Now, with the arrival of their imminent debut album, Blood Hails Steel â?? Steel Hails Fire,
MEGATON SWORD are marching into the halls of greatness, with no one to stop them.
Retaining the same, well-named lineup â?? vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe,
bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel â?? MEGATON SWORD maximize
the strengths of the EP and then some, revealing new twists to that mystery of steel whilst
retaining the charisma and crunch that endeared them to the true-metal underground the
first time around. Indeed, Blood Hails Steel â?? Steel Hails Fire is aptly titled, almost
ridiculously so: this is true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring
themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy, but rendered in a form even bloodier
and possessing more bravado. Itâ??s also more dynamic, maximizing drama between notes
and from one passage to the next, each movement a narrative crucial to their conquest.
Those notes are suitably wrapped in a production thatâ??s powerful in its clarity and pure in its
intention, revealing MEGATON SWORD as both craftsmen and warriors, and never sacrificing
grit on the altar of perfection (or vice versa).
Above all, Blood Hails Steel â?? Steel Hails Fire is comprised of legitimately awesome SONGS
that stick in your head immediately, even when traveling upon a winding, suitably epic path.
Each one of the eight contained herein feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest;
credit is thus due to MEGATON SWORDâ??s firing-on-all-cylinders songwriting. Or perhaps it's
the patient pacing they employ, which they first revealed on Niralet, allowing each bellow of
bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and
machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and
intense; or once again, perhaps it's the band simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh,
safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind, and doing it more
effortlessly than ever. Either way, MEGATON SWORD have delivered an album both bold in
its ambition yet urgent in its delivery â?? truly, the thing that classic debut LPs are made of.
With Niralet, we made references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as
early Running Wild and Nasty Savage, but with Blood Hails Steel â?? Steel Hails Fire,
MEGATON SWORD truly sound like no one but themselves: the growth is palpable, but not
once overextended. And graced again with unforgettable cover art courtesy of Adam Burke,
one of the best debut albums of the year is ready to be wielded! - ..
