Battleroar - Blood Of Legends (2014)

INFO:

Battleroar is a traditional epic heavy metal band formed in Athens in September 2000.
The roots of the band’s style sink deep into the sound of legendary 80s American and European bands such as Manilla Road, Omen, Cirith Ungol, Brocas Helm, Manowar, Jag Panzer and Heavy Load. The band’s name was in fact taken from the lyrics to Heavy Load’s song ‘Singing Swords’ (‘I loved the Battleroar’).

Their first album Battleroar (2005) and their second album Age of Chaos (2006) were received very well in the metal underground. In 2008 the third album ‘To Death and Beyond’ was released and it received excellent reviews worldwide. Battleroar is also known for being a good live band and they have played all over Europe, including Spain, Italy, Ireland, Belgium and Germany.

In 2009 the band parted ways with guitar player Manolis Karazeris and vocalist Marco Concoreggi. They were temporarily replaced by Stelios Sovolos on guitar and John Papanikolaou (ex Innerwish) on vocals. This line-up played some shows in Holland and Greece.
In September 2010 the band announced that Antreas Sotiropoulos (Everdome, Wolfcry) is the permanent new guitar player."Blood Of Legends" is the first BATTLEROAR album to feature SACRED STEEL vocalist Gerrit Mutz, who joined the group last year.

The song "Poisoned Well", taken from "Blood Of Legends", appears in the Greek fantasy feature film "The Dragonphoenix Chronicles: Indomitable".
