Now this is power metal done right ! Wings of Steel is yet another California-based band that is perpetually rooted in the glory days of 1980’s-era heavy metal. Talent practically oozes from this 5-piece group of rockers; the instrumentation and production are impeccable.
Vocalist Leo Unnermark is masterful with an incredible range, while guitarist Parker Halub proves to be a phenomenal shredding machine. Musically, one can hear glimpses of Priest, Queensryche, Accept, and Maiden. Has it all been done before? Sure, but it’s refreshing to see a young band embrace power metal so competently.
The highlight of the album, Winds Of Time, starts the record off in epic fashion. The band pulled out all stops on this 10-minute track; Dynamic sections and change-ups abound ! Saints and Sinners, Burning Sands, and To Die in Holy War are barnbusting headbangs, as the band hits on all cylinders.
With such a young and talented band such as this, the future looks bright for heavy music. One of the best releases of 2025 !
