LORDS OF BLACK – Lords Of Black (2022 reissue)
Celebrating the 8th anniversary of its original release, LORDS OF BLACK are reissuing their self-titled debut album “Lords Of Black“. The disc was released by themselves in 2014 when LORDS OF BLACK still wasn’t signed by Frontiers Music, and powerhouse Ronnie Romero was unknown for the major audience.
“Lords Of Black” remains unheard by many people, so this is cool re-release to discover this good album. While self-released, the recording has a bombastic production, mastered & mixed by Roland Grapow (ex Helloween) who knows a thing or two about classic melodic metal.
And indeed “Lords Of Black” first album is a blast of melodic metal with progressive moments very well arranged & executed, and where Romero showcases his incredible power ranging from calm clean passages to a stratospheric register.
