I’ve now not heard and/or reviewed many albums from Slovenia prior to now 30 years, however SKYEYE is unquestionably a band to be careful for, as a result of their third album New Horizons is somewhat a sensational affair. The band was once based again in 2014, and in the meantime their line up is composed of Jan Leš?anec – vocals, Primož Lovšin – bass, Mare Kav?nik – guitars, Jurij Nograšek – drums and City Železnik – guitars 10 years later. The band’s new album New Horizons is available in a superbly gate folded bundle with all of the knowledge you want to understand in regards to the recording and it’s songs, together with the lyrics, stunning paintings and a big picture of the band of their absolute best steel pose one can consider! There is sufficient to learn and have a look at whilst taking note of this double vinyl album, and fortunately the standard of the tune could also be of an overly prime degree, so principally we now have right here an album to try evidently, particularly if you happen to name your self partial to vintage 80s conventional melodic (Ecu) steel. 11 songs are incorporated in overall, and they’re unfold over 2 vinyl data.
Opener The Descenders presentations instantly that we’re dealing right here with relatively superb straight-ahead uptempo Melodic Energy Steel this is keen on catchy singable choruses and prime pitched vocals, now not some distance got rid of from NOCTURNAL RITES, MYSTIC PROPHECY and such Ecu Melodic Steel, even if JUDAS PRIEST and HAMMERFALL also are close-calls right here. After all IRON MAIDEN, DIO and MANOWAR kinda True Steel influences also are in every single place, which is hearable all through particularly the next uptempo Heavy Steel Anthem Struggle!, which is an excellent mix of the three aforementioned mythical Steel Kings! The band’s singer Jan is an important singer who has the precise highest voice for this type of vintage melodic steel, whilst instrumental the band could also be transferring in a relatively sensational path. As already discussed, there’s no unmarried susceptible music in this album, and in spite of I’ve now not heard that many Steel albums in 2024, this new SKYEYE album is unquestionably a contender for absolute best Melodic Steel album of 2024! Different highlights are Some distance Past (the music IRON MAIDEN has now not created prior to now few a long time!), the epic Saraswati, and the implausible catchy uptempo vintage 80s IRON MAIDEN ish Forgotten Country.
If you wish to find a new band with authentic self-written songs within the taste of vintage melodic steel a los angeles DREAM EVIL, HAMMERFALL, IRON MAIDEN, SAXON, JUDAS PRIEST, MANOWAR, MYSTIC PROPHECY, NOCTURNAL RITES and such, then glance no additional than this SKYEYE and their new album New Horizons! Be sure to seize your self a duplicate of the vinyl version, which is a real Melodic Steel Masterpiece!
