Classic heavy metal fans rejoice!Icy Steel has just released a double album that will fill your desire for modern heavy metal with a bit of an 80s sound mixed in.The first disc is my favorite,as it has several stand out songs.”Ashes of Glory”,is a beautiful and soulful ballad, that has an amazing guitar introduction.It is definitely a lighter raised in the air type of song.Another standout is”Inside the Glass Place”, which has a totally unique drum sound that gives it an island feel.The guitars blend so well with the drums it is pure bliss.This whole album is a feast for the ears.The musicianship is top notch as are the vocals,which can range from soulful to incredibly powerful. The second album is an unplugged endeavor.It has a very atmospheric sound.Completely different sound wise from its set mate,it almost sounds like a different band. I enjoyed it as it showed a different side to the band.I would recommend this set to any true fan of heavy metal.
