In the same issue, I also found out that the main songwriter behind Apokalyptic Raids, of all bands, was a Physics PhD.

And Luzbel, of course.

I sense alot of similarities to Helstar, particularly in how they have a very classical sense of harmony, and both seem to love using the harmonic minor scale and operatic vocals (though Helstar's were comparatively under emphasized, and not nearly as powerful or well trained), and like Helstar, make use of an overused scalar pattern (see "Egyptian music" and all modern "metal") in an incredibly elegant way. Excellent, excellent material. For post-80s heavy metal, this is amazing.

It's good to see someone pushing the genre forward without cheapening it. I'd recommend this to those "operatic metal" Nightwish dorks, but it would probably just make their heads explode. Then again, that's probably not a bad thing... This dude is the best vocalist ever. It’s good to see someone pushing the genre forward without cheapening it.
