Sinner Rage Powerstrike

With their debut album, these Spaniards proclaim the return of progressive heavy metal in the 80s tradition.

Spain's SINNER RAGE thrust themselves into the present with a sound built on the past: pure and total HEAVY METAL during the genre's '80s heyday. Powerstrike is a throwback to the days when heavy metal supremacy were ruled by the likes of Judas Priest, Saxon, Queensrÿche, and Crimson Glory. The hooks are heavy and headbanging, but the quartet exhibit a knack for spacious, atmospheric dynamics.
