Please allow me to point that the vocals are one of the strongest features on the new album. Of course I have to make a special reference, to the excellent vocal performance of Matthew Knight. The songs are based on adventurous structures, emphasized by this solid and technical rhythm section: Bill Parsons have delivered some excellent drumming and the same goes for the amazing bass performance of the one and only Mike LePond ( SYMPHONY X, HEATHENS RAGE etc), who recorded bass on the new album. Alex Parra has also delivered some great guitar work. The lead guitars parts and the solos are fantastic. Through this release Howie Bentley highlights the CAULDRON BORN vision, a vision that has not changed since day one of the band’s existence: The release of inspired, complex and the same time so into the point, Epic / Power Metal totally connected and inspired by Sword & Sorcery literature.īentley delivers some of the most outstanding guitar themes of his entire career in this album. I will put it straight and simple: The album is a masterpiece. A release that brings the band back where it belongs: to the pantheon of Epic / Power Metal. The second and most important chapter on this new era of the cauldron is the “Cold Steel for the Necromancer” new album. “Legacy of Atlantean Kings” which was actually a re-recorded and re-arranged edition of the “…And Rome Shall Fall” classic, was the first result of the band’s resurrection.
DECEIVER SWORD OF THE NECROMANCER PLUS
The comeback from the dead featured three members from the classic 1994 line up ( Howie Bentley on guitars, Bill Parsons on drums and Shawn Kascak on bass) plus the mighty voice of ETERNAL WINTER, the mighty Matthew Knight himself. I was quite shocked and filled with extreme happiness when Howie Bentley informed me that he would would resurrect his spiritual CAULDRON BORN child out from the ashes.
