Forged In Black - Descent Of The Serpent

Review by Wilson Chu

Forged In Black's album, Descent Of The Serpent, is a powerful and thrilling metal experience that is sure to satisfy any fan of the genre. From the opening track, "Seek No Evil," the band sets a tone of dark mysticism and epic storytelling that carries through the entire album. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with intricate riffs and solos that showcase the band's technical prowess without sacrificing the songwriting. The vocals are equally impressive, with frontman Stu "The Hammer" Mills delivering a range of styles from clean singing to guttural growls with ease. The album's standout tracks include "Pay The Price," which features a catchy chorus and a blistering guitar solo, and "Shadowcasters," which has a haunting atmosphere and a memorable chorus that will stick with listeners long after the song ends. Descent Of The Serpent is a must-listen for fans of classic heavy metal and modern metal alike, and Forged In Black proves themselves to be a band to watch in the scene.
