Melodic metallers Gladenfold<\/strong> will release new album Soulbound<\/em> on February 27 through Reaper Entertainment and it\u2019s a good album.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty of melodic and atmospheric guitar lines, which are particularly shown off in the opening of opener Fire Wind.<\/em> The track also features atmospheric vocals and has a very strong 80s power metal sound.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty of prominent drum lines throughout the album too, particularly in For My Queen<\/em>. This is a rockier track but has a really cool guitar riff just before the two minute mark. <\/span><\/p>\n Helix of Hate<\/em> brings some growl vocals back and they work well for the verses alongside the melodic chorus.<\/span><\/p>\n The guest vocals in Mercy<\/em> work well and harmonise into the track. And I love the atmospheric delivery of closing track Soulbound Parallax.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I love the concept of the album \u2013 talking about fate, cycles and the consequences of actions \u2013 and it is delivered well through the lyrics, whilst the instrumentation gives a bit of an angelic sound. <\/span><\/p>\n I love the 80s power metal mixed with a bit of glam rock and heavier elements that are sprinkled throughout the record. It\u2019s a good sound. The standout moment is definitely the guitars for me. In every single track, there\u2019s some absolutely stunning guitar lines. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
