Bio:
Band formed in 2004 in Germany as Crypteria...in 2005 new name band Iron Fate.Band combine their favorite preferred style of US metal with hard rock elements, pure heavy metal and even thrashy tunes as the new line-up contributes a multitude of different musical influences as well.A new level of musicianship and a more elaborated songwriting resulted in an almost one-hour long journey through fast-paced, epic, melancholic, and even aggressive musical landscapes. Get ready and become spellbound by the Crimson Messiah!The brothers Sascha and Harms Wendler laid the foundation with the idea of playing a style of metal that would be different from the local metal bands: classic heavy metal. The group orientated itself on role models such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Sanctuary.With Jan Abraham on bass and Denis Brosowski as singer, the band was almost complete. After two line-up changes, a lead guitarist was found in Martin Pflugmacher, thus completing the band.After playing with artists like Goddess of Desire, Metal Inquisitor or Mercenary and two gigs at the Rockharz Open Air, the band decided to produce a CD.In 2010, Massacre Records signed the quintet and released the debut album Cast in Iron in July of the same year.
Album:
The band's second album offers all this and more. You can look forward to heavy metal with a few hard rock elements and thrashy tunes here and there!German outfit, laying somewhat dormant, for over a decade, returns with one of the hottest properties in the underground: a mix of high pitched (Queensrÿche/Fates Warning/Crimson Glory) inspired American ‘80s metal, with the occasional tinge of thrash aggression. No, not the MTV or Sunset Strip versions of "metal," but what was lurking in the grooves of compilations like the Metal Massacre series. To that end, Jag Panzer/Three Tremors/Titan Force/Satan's Host screamer Harry Conklin adds his considerable voice to "Crossing Shores" and there is a bonus (on CD format) of Black Sabbath's "Lost Forever" (off The Eternal Idol).Energetic kick-off, with the title cut residing somewhere between the Ryche's initial EP and slightly technical John Arch sung platters from the mid-Eighties. Good stuff and intriguing enough to suck in even the most jaded metalhead. "Malleus Maleficatum" (also the title of the Pestilence debut, translates to Hammer Of The Witches, a 1483 book, written by a German Catholic clergyman) ups the ante, vocals venturing into Midnight (ex-Crimson Glory) territory. Down-shifting to smooth throat mid-tempo, "We Rule The Night" is the slightly commercialized vein of traditional metal at which Dio excelled.The aforementioned "Crossing Shores" has the Tyrant in a duet with the Fate's Denis Brosowski, adopting a lower register, much of the time. Jangly guitar interplay and Tate-ish vocalizations give "Mirage" (apt title) the feel of the more famous Seattle Mindcrime merchants, particularly the chorus. Acoustic strumming introduces the nearly ten minute "Strangers (In The Mind)". Eventually, the whole band gets involved, and while the intensity is ratcheted up (slightly), the tune remains subtle and restrained throughout the initial 2/3. A ballad, if you like, which is suddenly broken by a wall of galloping guitar melodies and lofty vocal highs. Feels like a bit too exaggerated endurance for the eventually (albeit fulfilling) payoff. Ultimately ending, as it began, just the singer and electric-less six-string."Hellish Queen" marries that godly US metallic trinity into the album's standout bit: lively, easy sing-along (apart from the unattainable register), with a fist pumping authenticity. A speedy, almost neo-classical flourish opens the pounding "Guardians Of Steel", owing (an obvious) bit to Iron Maiden. "Saviors Of The Holy Lie" opts for a heretofore unheard Sabbathy sludge/heaviness. Odd, since the bonus cut also name checks Iommi's bunch, although "Lost Forever" is an up-tempo (dare I say "happy sounding") riff-ride.Classy.People are losing their minds over the eponymous Helloween album. If just 1 in 10 of them would give Iron Fate a listen...
