Happy Friday, please accept this collect call from destiny. Not Bob Weadababyitsaboy. These guys have been cranking out the bombast since 1998, all the way from Macedonia. Maybe they’re related to Alexander the Great, the Macedonian King. I really think Bungie dropped the ball by not using this song in promo materials for their game Destiny. Destiny is Calling seems like a good way to entice people to shoot aliens and also that wizard that came from the moon.

The song starts with some solid guitar noodling letting you know the major riff for the song. I’ve written about these guys before; the vocalist is pretty great and fits in really well with the sound. He’s got a bit of a gravely voice but is still belting out a pretty solid range. About 3/4 of the way through the song is when we get the proper noodly solo which is really ties the song together. According to Encyclopaedia Metallum the band was started by the guitarist, so he ought to get some focus!

The video is primarily show/rehearsal footage, but then a bit of them goofing off before the show. The singer’s red leather member’s only jacket is pretty badass, also looks like a throwback to 1988. There’s a couple shots of the crowd throwing fists in the air, but it might be in slow-mo? Because they look like they seem half-embarassed to be doing it. I think the guitarist has light up pickups to make his solos look more epic. I support this 100%. More of life needs to be epic for no reason other than “it’ll look cool.”
