Well they did it, Swedish band Krilloan which started in 2020 had me turning into a pool of hormones from the first track “Prince of Caledoria”. What's even better is the original album art which reminds me of old Mastodon albums. The music is a lot like thrash metal more than Heavy metal, and has a classic stadium rock sound like Styx.  The second track on the album is called “Sons of The Lion” which sounds similar to the first track although I would like to give a shout out to songwriters Holmgren/Bentsson/ and Reynolds for including song lyrics. The lyrics are still descipherable without them but it really helps alot in the review process. This song is actually really cool! I honestly never would have known if they did not include the lyrics. Ten out of Ten presentation for this element. 


Track three on the album “Fireborn” was cool how the intro had a horse winnie. There is also a definite Rush sound here which reminds me of their albums “Farewell To Kings” and “2112”. I also really love Dragons so I can really get into this track. “Return to Melnibone” almost has a Dungeon Synth like sound with its ambient effects and noises which I do enjoy, however this ultimately reflects a lack of originality.


The Title track “Emperor Rising” sounds like the rest of the tracks, but there is more here like printed lyrics so I can actually understand them. There is also a beautiful story here about an Emperor and their noble Dragon Companion, which I highly recommend to my readers. Song number seven “Into The Storm” I think something like this or the previous track “Brothers in Arms” could easily be feautured in a movie scene where there is some kind of great battle depicting lots of dragons fighting ariel battles in the sky. Dang if only I were a movie producer. 


In terms of Melodic Metal musicianship track eight “Stormlight” is really on point. I really enjoyed the guitar solo of Steve Brockman at ‘4:00’. Track nine “Angels of Sacrifice” I really love this beautiful track, it almost has a rock gospel feel at 1:42 till 2:05 which was really interesting! I love the Seraphim Angel on their bandcamp page too LJ Koh definitely deserves some credit here too and so does this band for hiring a professional artist.

Temple of the feathered serpent -cosmic jaguar song review

      Temple of the Feathered Serpent-Cosmic Jaguar https://cosmicjaguar.bandcamp.com/track/temple-of-the-feathered-serpent?fbclid=IwAR28TjpvqQ2C1KCa_SQEbhY-ywGZ7H3T2OOFJF-QU-Rbnlsn82yMhgwnBUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5fcLWKU74I  #1 Temple of the Feathered Serpent (obviously)  Members of the band  Denis Tomillo- Drummer Juan Maestro-Guitar(Bestial invasion, ex-sunrise) Sergio Lunatico-Vocals & Bass Guitar,Lyrics/Songwriter   This was excellent, I really liked the Large Dragons by ancient temples in their Youtube video. It says on an old forum post in the metal archives that they are a ukrainian band which is interesting. The South American tribal themes such as the god the rainbow serpent are not entirely new to me but still rarely encountered. “Temple of the Feathered Serpent” is definitely a modern day stoner metal classic I hope you all will soon come to know and love!. Their lyrics written by Sergio Lunatico are extremely original in my opinion and deserve some recognit

I like that the band has  some more artistic album art than some other bands I have reviewed in the past. The Uterus/Vagina  surrounded by planets is extremely memorable. It also sounds like chanting in what I think is Spanish  midway through the song which is interesting.I looked up a lyric video they release

SandPunk Survivor Ch.10 (Final Chapter)

  Ch.10 Father-Hood I decided I better get my adventuring out of the way before my kids were born. I decided it would be best if  they came with me back to the ship so they could leave this infected world. They agreed and followed me  back to the portal which took us back to the underground grotto. I knew they would not be able to breathe  the mile stretch back to the planet's surface so I made them re-breather mask beforehand which used a  rare kind of crystal known as Netibite found in Rayuba that allowed one's lungs to temporarily extract  oxygen from the water. Upon returning to the ship I had Lorretta take a look at the Demonic Engine.     The Seductive and pregnant red panda spoke up. I've never seen anything like this before but  it appears that you need some form of coolant. "Coolant!" Aranea explained. "we are on a  planet made of ice, how hard could it be?" The 4 cast a quick detect Ice spell which located  a nearby cave filled with a material
