Medusa’s Wrath, a band that stormed onto the heavy metal scene in 2019, has finally unveiled their highly anticipated debut full-length album, “Pavor Exitium Mors”. True to their heritage and musical background, this album delivers a relentless barrage of forceful riffs and unapologetic passion for the genre.

From the first glance at the album’s artwork, it’s evident that Medusa’s Wrath is dedicated to their craft. With no pretensions, they embrace heavy metal minimalism in regards to the purity of the sound, staying true to the classic metal “teachings” of the ’80s while infusing it with their own brand of intensity.

“Pavor Exitium Mors” is a journey through the years of heavy metal history, drawing inspiration from both the U.S. and European scenes. Tracks like “Heaven’s Gates” and “A Day of Peace” pay homage to the U.S. heavy metal tradition with their marching feel, while songs like “Time Erased” and “Shade of Night” channel the spirit of the N.W.O.B.H.M movement with twisted Judas Priest influences and rock ‘n’ roll undertones.

Throughout the album, melody plays a crucial role, adding depth and emotion to the thunderous instrumentation. One standout moment is found in “Street Warriors”, where the melodic lead guitar work cuts through the mix, elevating the composition to new heights.

Despite their reverence for classic sounds, Medusa’s Wrath manages to inject a sense of freshness and excitement into each track. Whether it’s the power metal-infused energy of “Pavor” or the raw intensity of “Heaven’s Gates”, they demonstrate a versatility that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.

In conclusion, “Pavor Exitium Mors” is a testament to Medusa’s Wrath’s unwavering commitment to their craft. It’s an album that will undoubtedly earn the respect and love of heavy metal fans everywhere. If you’re craving a sharp, epic, and exhilarating heavy metal experience, look no further than Medusa’s Wrath’s debut offering.
