Cloven Hoof Eye Of The Sun

2016, EYE OF THE STORM has an edge of thrash and power metal to it, essentially a modern take on the band's earlier work, but it kicks ass none the less, and if it has inspired the re-ignition of this excellent and overlooked band into the metallic bloodstream then so be it. ,,Inquisitor" is a punishing, infectious metal track with its chorus just as authorative as its subject matter: vocalist Matt Moreton spins a nice sneer on his lines which remind one of the best of Vicious Rumors or Helstar. ,,Eye Of The Sun" dials back the pace to a catchy and fist pumping riff, Moreton's vocals soaring across the verse until the pure New Wave Of British Heavy Metal power of its chorus. ,,Cyberworld" has a flowing, hard rocking melody through the verse. ,,Kiss Of Evil" begins with a bluesy burning lead and proceeds to fist pump through another killer hook. Great vocals here. ,,Whore Of Babylon" is simply one of the best tracks here with its curvy hooks. ,,Golgotha" erupts from an acoustic lead-in, into searing power metal.
