DUNGEON - Purifying FireLP)

Dungeon's debut MLP goes straight for the throat, the London metallions pillaging elements from speed, death and traditional heavy metal to build a pyre that burns with righteous indignation. These six tracks display a classical education, paying dues to the masters of previous eras without ever straying into cheap pastiche, meanwhile retaining a puritanical might. These songs have been forged in the flames of damnation and hammered into finely wrought weapons of conquest, bringing to mind undisputed heavyweights D666 and Nifelheim. Much like those acts, there is a presence, a rawness, an energy to Dungeon which demands obeisance.
