2009, UNDER THE FLAG is the debut full-length from France's old school throwbacks, Holy Cross. Don't let the name fool you, Holy Cross are not a Christian band. The have chosen Norse mythology as their idiom even though the album cover looks more like a scene from the crusades. Go figure. Mixed metaphors aside, Holy Cross crank out some pretty good 80s-inspired tunes on Under the Flag. The sound is akin to bands like Omen, yet there are some modern influences, like Sabaton or Witchking, that are also evident.
