At The Cross - Sword Of The Spirit (Old School Metal From the Netherlands)

New band from the Netherlands, playing some old school metal with a gothic / power metal tinge:

Good find!  This is some cool stuff.

Cool…I dig it.

A big reason for bringing this one to everyone's attention is that there are so few Christian metal bands from the Netherlands.

One band that comes to mind from the Netherlands is Angelic Forces. Their album Arise is quite good.

I like the second song.  There was something about the first one that grated on my nerves.

^Well there's a whole album on YouTube.  
I just picked two of the songs because they're separate videos.

Thanks for sharing.

Digging this, kinda like Power DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM with some speed

You need more “Os” when spelling DOOOOOOOOOM.

Can a mod make this work for all posts, like the way certain words are censored here?

Find a way to disable the "Send" button until the minimum number of "O"'s are added.

You’d think Kerrick would’ve already done this.

True, what the heck Kerrick!!!

This is really well done! I love the riffing and the guitar tone in general. Great songs. I agree to the doooooom comments. I can hear it and love it. I will say I was confused how wimpy the vocals were at first before realizing, recognizing a woman was sing. That was a face palm moment.

Would be great to hear them do something more with her voice in the production Sometimes that part of the sound comes off dry. The first song above almost had me give up right away. She sounds flat but I think it's more of a production issue. The backing vocals and all the other songs I listened to sounded better in general.

I like the second one, but the first one was weird.

Musically really good but needs a more powerful singer imo.

Is that why when Dust called Scott the B-word, it censored it... I was confused why he'd censor himself if he's writing it lol

I really appreciate their bold lyrics - they really don't allow any room for doubt regarding their beliefs!

Cool lyric video here:


Also, the band said they'll be releasing the album on CD August/September time-frame.  I definitely plan on picking up a copy!

I really like this next song.  It is in Dutch but it is more doom metal....oops, excuse me, doooooom.   
Don't want to get censored here! 

This song suits her voice very well:




This song is like Power doooooom, and I love the guitar tone:

Taken as a whole I think this album is pretty impressive.
