VII Gates
" Fire, Walk with Me”
(Sound Riot Records)

This is a kick ass album!! Sound Riot have a winner in this band - perhaps they’ve discovered the next Rainbow or UFO!! This is easily the best classic heavy metal I’ve heard for ages bar none and I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish - song titles are irrelvant except to say they’re all killers and no fillers! Whilst it isn’t surprising this 6 piece are Swedish, what is mind blowing is that this is the debut of a band formed only 5 years ago! Added to that is this strange sense of humour combining a mystical fantasy cover with a band foto of 6 rockers sat in a purple convertible with 3 bikini clad chicks who could be triplets ha ha! If you like classic metal / rock, power metal or melodic rock then “Fire, Walk with Me” is a must
