Blood Dancer

Blood Dancer is a gloriously fun power metal band who have major NWOBHM influences. With a stellar singer who is quite nearly on par with Dio this is a band that will take you to a glorious land of battles and magic and make you fight dragons until you die. With fantasy based lyrics and high powered guitar solos this is a band dedicated to making heavy metal as fun as it deserves to be. Overall the sound is very much in the vein of Dio or even the French Sortilège, yet there are a myriad of other influences that help make this album unique. In particular the slower guitar solos (and even some of the faster ones) show a major influence from Death. The riffing also shows a few black metal elements which I find to be very interesting. I particularly enjoy the way in which the normally clean vocals occasionally succumb into growls, this seems to be very reminiscent of Opeth. Overall, this is more than just a classic heavy metal band, vest metal, or power metal act because these guys manage to combine some very weird influences to get their sound. The result is a uniquely headbanging good time. You need to go check out Blood Dancer RIGHT NOW!
