Savage Blade – We Are The Hammer

Releasedate: 03-10-2009; Label: Pure Steel Records
By: Sabine van Gameren

The band Savage Blade is signed at Powerage records to release their debut album “We Are The Hammer”. This power metal act is coming Canada.

Their debut, really? Is the first thing that popped up when hearing the music. The band makes quite an entry in the music business with “We Are The Hammer” on their name. The music has a touch of the classic rock like Saxon and the drive like Anvil to give you an idea what to expect. Heavy metal pumped up with steady, challenging riffs sniping through the songs while vocalist Nikko Forsberg knows how to tame the guitars to such a level that he can stand out on his own too. Seeing the lineup has three names only there is a question how this music will turn out live, as the album just screams for seeing this band on a big stage in next year’s festival season. The trio knew how to pack it all together in the album also so there is no doubt about the fact they will find a way.

The album is catchy and the songs are easy to catch up. They will be adopted to a new listener quite soon and with the variation of the album there is plenty of music to enjoy. Heavy metal fans will have to buy it, this is a promising name to remember!

Line up:
Nikko Forsberg – Lead Vocals
Eric Hoodicoff – Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Drums, Bass, Background Vocals
Chris Rand – Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, Background Vocals
