SIROCCO
Nemed:  An Triu Creathan

http://www.siroccoband.com
 
I have a definite love / hate opinion of Ireland's Sirocco.  Here, we have a traditional metal band with self-described celtic influences, an awesome sound, a lyric sheet and an all instrumental disc!  Other reviewers suggest the band has a Thin Lizzy meets Iron Maiden style and that description is pretty close to the truth.  However, these songs scream for a vocalist!!!!!  I can't stress enough to these guys what a potentially special release they have on their hands that will get shuffled aside and ignored due to the lack of a singer.  Nemed contains a swagger and a charm that is musically excellent and a story that just needs to be narrated in some way, shape or form.

If you thoroughly enjoy the musical style of the previously mentioned bands, and more obscure groups such as Griffin and Valhalla, you will love this disc and curse it at the same time.  While I hardly ever offer advice to bands, I would STRONGLY suggest adding a vocal track to the disc and attempt to shop this around to labels and publications.  The music is strong enough to garner interest and the right singer may just seal a record deal.
