Azrael's Bane is pure metallic bliss for fans of Fifth Angel,
Crimson Glory, Hittman, Leatherwolf, etc on their release "Wings
Of Innocence". Steeped in traditional American metal, Azrael's Bane delivers a heavy, melodic, harmonious release.
Lead song "Shine" contains flashy guitars, splendid harmonies ala
TNT and most importantly a strong melody line. Innocence
takes a heavier path while still maintaining the band's stronger
points. "Rainbow's Edge" sounds like it could have come
from Queensryche's "Empire" sessions. The Fifth Angel
comparative is most apparent on "Chasing a Memory".
Hints of mid-period Fates Warning can be found in the tracks as
well as vocalist Trey Gadler has a voice that occasionally
recalls Ray Alder with hints of Geoff Tate.
The band themselves point to influences such as Lillian Axe,
Iron Maiden and Queensryche, all of which are fine examples to
drawn from. The fondness of Lillian Axe is most notable in
their use of harmonies on the choruses especially on the track
"Silence".
With the blend of many American metal institutions into their
style,
Azrael's Bane are a most rewarding listen for those who enjoy
technically sound heavy metal music.
