Review
Metalian is a band from Canada that in spite of being active since years this is their second album “ Midnight Rider ”, after the debut Album and some demos and EPs in their beginning. As the name of the band Metalian is the name of any true Metalmanic , the music of this band is a louder tha hell , a Heavy Metal attack, and for sure they get it, full of Speed melodies and fast riffs, some times similar to old Heavy Metal gods but mixed with the Canadian Thrash Metal of the 80s and 90s, even similar in some parts and style to old Thrash era .
Well, maybe I have said a lot of influences Metal genres, from Heavy to classic Metal, but this is the amplitude of this band, but if we had to select a genre it would be Heavy Speed Metal . Is a blast of energy and Ride , the pass of the Metal hordes, destruction and epic of their classic guitar work, voices are aggressive , drumming is a blast of bass drums and blast beats when music deserve it, a hard and effective work.
The artwork is in the style of Heavy scene, and is in accordance with music and image of the band. The sound is pretty good, a good production. Well, I hope that Metalian continues to play and record albums of true Metal like this, and a label that supports them. All the songs are like a hail storms of riffs and drums and like I mentioned earlier I used the analogy of whipping. It’s like the faster the band play the more an over worldly atmosphere comes through. It’s like the band through ritual are opening up a portal to another world. it’s a kickass Ride in the dark .
