formed in 2012, ARMAGH are a heavy metal force from Satanic City Warsaw. Mixing classic heavy metal from the ’70s and ’80s with proto-black metal, ARMAGH are the creators of First Wave Only movement, which unites several Polish bands delivering old-school metal \u0096 among them, labelmates GALLOWER and SEXMAG but also Torpor, Wielki Mrok, and R.I.P. \u0096 with primal severity in their sound and message.<\/p>\n
Truly, ARMAGH are a maniac maniac\u0092s band, idiosyncratic mainlining such noble influences as Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Mot\u00f6rhead, KISS, Manilla Road, early Slayer and Megadeth, W.A.S.P, Bathory, Dissection, Running Wild, KAT, and the NWOBHM in general into something authentically rustic and effortlessly unique. They delivered their first recording, the Venomous Frost EP, in 2016 and then followed it three years later with a split and then debut album, Cold Wrath of Mother Earth. The latter was exceptionally cult, but simply set the stage for their breakout record: Serpent Storm.<\/p>\n
Wild and weird but never belabored, ARMAGH\u0092s second album seemingly comes from an alien place \u0096 one where Battle Cry, Another Perfect Day, Haunting the Chapel, Chinatown, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and Born Again all simultaneously play in perfect, hellish harmony. A true record collector\u0092s record, Serpent Storm displays its power and personality at every turn, each of these ten songs offering its own canvas of darkness and mystery, ultimately making the album an epic of archaic splendor and true rivetheaded spirit. For as \u0093old\u0094 as the album supposedly sounds (and by OLD, we mean ANCIENT), ARMAGH\u0092s rumbling \u0091n\u0092 roiling attack feels remarkably fresh compared to so much nowadays \u0093heavy metal\u0094 or especially \u0093black metal\u0094; from the warlocked clean tones of frontman Galin Soulreaper to his almost rock \u0091n\u0092 rollish guitar tones, there\u0092s nothing trendy \u0096 only timeless \u0096 about that attack. The 45 minutes of Serpent Storm feel too short, so addicting is its alchemy.<\/p>\n
Prepare for the sleeper hit of the year in ARMAGH\u0092s Serpent Storm: FUCK MODERN METAL, FIRST WAVE ONLY! <\/p>\n
