Digital Dystopia

One could be forgiven for thinking this album is just another drop in the endless sea of synthwave we've seen lately judging by the album cover and album title of 'Digital Dystopia'. Instead, to my surprise, this is some of the most solid power metal I've heard in years, and unfortunately it is criminally underappreciated. Nothing but unrelenting, riff driven speed metal madness coupled with powerful soaring vocal melodies. Hell yeah! Doug Hembree

I love The Alchemist because aside from being the most awesome track on the album, the music video features my kin the Blades of the North. Much love guys, keep up the awesomeness! qrex
