The highly-anticipated sophomore album from Philadelphia true metal warriors! Blazon Rite returns with Wild Rites and Ancient Songs, a highly memorable, melody-laden, anthem-rousing display of classic metal! The dust hadn't even settled on the recording process for Blazon Rite's Endless Halls of Golden Totem debut album when the band decided to keep writing. The reasoning was simple: Founding member and guitarist James Kirn obsesses over song ideas. Once an idea is formulated in his head, seeing it all the way through is paramount, no matter the proximity to completing a previous studio album. Therefore, the ideas came quickly and fast for Kirn and lead guitarist Pierson Roe for what eventually became their sophomore full-length, Wild Rites and Ancient Songs. But make no mistake -- this is not Endless Halls redux, but a more direct and catchy offering of classic metal.
