Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover and one bonus track. Limited 300 copies

The return of the heavy rockers Q5 from Seattle after 30 years. This is passionate Hard Rock / Heavy Metal with melody and power and the band still manages to pound out awesome grooves, allow wonderful guitar shredding, and still sound recognizable as those dudes who made the classic Steel The Light album. Fans of that record really couldn’t ask for much better than what they have given us. Check out A Warrior’s Song/Mach Opus 206 which are listed as two separate tracks, but run into each other, and form an absolutely epic power metal trip. Mach Opus 206 is in fact an massive rifftastic monster of an instrumental track and I can’t help turning this one up to ‘11’ whenever this hits my ears. It’s honestly epically huge! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention what a great recording this is too. So often these days albums seem to come out flat and lifeless, but this record has a real energy and feel behind it driving the whole experience along. The drums and bass sound massive and the guitar sound is just about perfect – cutting, but still heavy. Jonathan Scott K’s vocal sit perfectly within each track and it may be his lyrical phrasing that makes me think NWOBHM.
