Gloryful is a band from Gelsenkirchen, Germany, formed in 2010 playing an epic type of heavy Metal. The current members are Johnny La Bomba – Vocals, Jens "Shredmaster JB" Basten – Guitar, Vito Papotto – Guitar, Oliver Karasch – Bass and Hartmut Stoof – Drums. A three-track demo, "Sedna's Revenge", garnered great reviews in the classic heavy metal underground and the band played a number of shows with such acts as Powerwolf, Vicious Rumors, Ordan Ogan and Helstar.

After the “Warrior’s Code” in 2013, now their second full album “Ocean Blade”. The opener a great epic metal song starting with the sound of the sea very quiet but when the guitars begin to play, the hell break loose. And what a voice raw, clear and intense. Second track “E Mare E Libertad” (Latin, from the sea, freedom) what a song they know how to make an album. And the fourth song “The Masters Hands” my favorite some hardrock (trash-like) song with a nice drum line and the pirate sphere is present. This album is great pay attention we will hear more of this great band. Buy this record!
