Sacred - On the Verge of Becoming a Shadow
Another band from Sweden, seems they never lost it after all! This release is the band's debut LP and play a mix between heavy and power metal - reminding me like a less mainstream version of Hammerfall, or maybe closer to modern day Riot (or Riot V, as they call themselves nowadays).
Linked is one that stands out to me, a more story-based slower track that kinda reminds me of a version of Iron Maiden in the middle of their career in a small way, and maybe a smidge of Queensrÿche lol.
