"Attention, attention, the following record is meant to be played on 10," quite a way to start a record if you ask me! Iron Kobra have the balls of steel and the vicious riffs that are required to pass as a heavy metal band in this day and age. Coming from the speed metal side of things it's perhaps best to describe these guys as a nerdier Skull Fist. They've been around for 6 years now and Might & Magic is the veritable culmination of their work, proof that this kind of music has the power to reign loud and proud even in 2015.

FrontThis album pretty much came out of nowhere, and oh what a surprise! It’s keyboard-driven melodic rock with crunchy guitars and powerful choruses. Take the keyboard leads from Europe’s Final Countdown and combine them with strong German hard rock like Fair Warning or Bonfire, and that will give you a taste of what the band sounds like. Interestingly enough, it’s not on one of the usual European AOR/hard rock labels.

Brilliant melodic rock with a metal edge, from Norway. Just listen to the incredible melody during "crusader now..", "Heart of the sun" Excellent guitar work. Imagine Ten, Lost Horizon,Asia and Hellowen in the same record. A mixture of power-metal and great melodic sounds, “Heaven’s Gate” is a breath of fresh air as KELDIAN climbs the mountain to reach the peak of success. A big surprise !

FrontNow that's what I call Hard Rock!!! Screaming guitars, thundering drums and harsh vocals!!! Who would belive that this remarkable album would come from Bailey Brothers, the hosts of MTV's metal show, Headbanger's Ball? (Back then Headbanger's Ball had something to do with metal, afterwards it lost every connection.) Judgement Day starts with the self-titled track, that gets you back in the late 80's early 90's.
