Holy Force Holy Force, japanese edition

2011, HOLY FORCE is the great debut album by Holy Force which is a bit of a supergroup in a way, comprising members from prominent prog and power metal acts. The style on this album combines traditional metal and power metal. The music is generally epic and melodic with catchy power metal style epic choruses and lots of neoclassical elements. While the guitar of Ango Chenis in focus, the other musicians are also worth noting, as Mike Lepond (Symphony X) and Rhino (Ex-Manowar) constitute an incredibly solid rhythm section on bass and drums respectively, and vocalist Mark Boals delivers a perfectly controlled vocal performance which suits the catchy vocal melodies perfectly and adds an epic dimension to Holy Force's brand of traditional/power metal.
