Majesty

It’s been seven years ago since the last ‘new’ album was released by this German band.  They did release a compilation and a DVD in that period however.

I’d almost forgotten about the existence of this band, but I was greatly pleased by this new effort.  It’s not innovative, but somehow it manages to mix epic power metal à la Manowar with classic heavy metal à la Judas Priest.  Now both of the aforementioned bands have always been high on my list of preferred bands, so imagine what a combination of both styles could do.

Coming forth from Germany, is Majesty. A band formed by vocalist Tarek “MS” Maghary. Quickly after the release of their debut album, ‘Keep It True’ (2000), the band started to build up a its reputation and soon after became more and more popular (but mostly underground). Their popularity kept growing and they toured with bands like U.D.O. and Mystic Prophecy.
