Hooray for power metal! Angry Metal Guy is a great source of kickass music. And also a pile of death/black metal that is also there. I had not heard of Spellcaster until I read AMG’s review of their upcoming album, Night Hides World. And if I Live Again is any indication, I’m going to be listening to this album a ton when it comes out.

The guitar work is crunchy and coordinated and awesome, all the things you want from a band, while there are great vocal harmonizing up on top of that. And he built a fortress to serve his insanity!

Hearing this song reminded me of the first time I heard Wolf’s Black Wings back in 2001. A big crazy throwback band that is putting their own stamp on metal, and doesn’t just sound “sorta like Priest” or “kinda like Maiden” or “a bit of Dio-era Sabbath.”

So listen to I Live Again. Then listen to it again. Then listen to it a third time.
