In an age when heavy metal has been nearly subgenred to death, it’s refreshing as hell to hear a young band playing straight-up metal with no narrow- minded qualifiers or categories in earshot. On their full-length debut, Salt Lake City’s Visigoth deliver the real-deal old-school goods with power and swagger to spare, invoking the likes of early Dio (“Dungeon Master”), Di’ Anno-era Iron Maiden (“Blood Sacrifice”), and maybe even a touch of Riot (“Creature of Desire”). The nearly 10-minute closer “From the Arcane Mists of Prophecy” should make even the most jaded of headbangers raise their fists and yell.

The band Vexillum saw the light in 2004 in Pisa (Italy) from an idea of the guitar player Michele Gasparri. After some months, the singer Dario Vallesi joined in, replacing Michele at the Vocals and letting him focusing only on the six-chord shredding. “Unum” is a concept album, where Dario, as principal character, is accompanied through his quest by other singers that are Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian) as “The Sentenced”, Chris Bay (Freedom Call) playing “The Jester”, Maxi Nil (Jaded Star, ex Visions of Atlantis) returning as the Lady Thief, after being the Flame on The Bivouac’s “The Oak and Lady Flame” and Mark Boals (Malmsteen, Iron Mask, Ring of Fire) acting like “The Hermit”.
