What we have here is a very interesting release that includes high quality Heavy / Prog Steel. SACRED DAWN from Chicago, IL, USA have managed to capture a style that combines together the melodic and sometimes atmospheric musical elements that will bring into your mind bands like Psychotic Waltz or Fates Warning (second era), with the straight in your face traditional Heavy Metal touches which are getting more powerful touching from time to time the musical limits of US Power Metal.
Complex technical but still melodic and memorable the twelve songs of this album will make us realize for one more time that United States Of America is still the ultimate land of high quality Metal and in the case of SACRED DAWN this Metal is inspired and worth checking.
The records is marked by an excellent production that will let you to enjoy the excellent performance of each musician. Mentioning musicians and great performances I have to point that the session drummer of SACRED DAWN played in David Shankle Group so this could be a reason for the die hard Manowar fans to check this band out.
In conclusion we got another fine release by Nightmare Records that re presents the debut of this great band which was originally released back in 2006 by Qumran Rec. that will satisfy your non-stop thirst for high quality Steel.
