Claymore Damnation Reigns

2010, It's almost unimaginable what heavy metal would have become without Iron Maiden and greatness of their influence on the many generations to come is probably impossible to put in words. And so the fact that many bands take hold of the sound of the British giant is not very surprising. The Claymore uses the more recent sound and approach of the more recent albums like BRAVE NEW WORLD and a bit of DANCE OF DEATH. Although they are not brainlessly copying their British heroes and the album contains enough self-input, they keep the Iron Maiden-feel through the entire album. That has mostly to do with the voice and singing style of Andreas Grundman, who sometimes come dangerously close to Bruce Dickinson! Feat. guest appearance Tim ´Ripper` Owens (Yngwie J. Malmsteen, ex-Iced Earth, ex-Judas Priest) and Victor Smolski (Rage).
