“Stormborn” is the new (4th) album from Swedisch metal band Bloodbound. Bloodbound decribe “Stormborn" as a bombastic well produced album bringing us metal hyms of exceptional class”…… Is this correct I than think…. Well it is partially, it’s bombastic and it’s well produced, in fact it’s so bombastic that after playing it a couple of times the overkill of choruses and choir singalongs make Stormborn sound rather childish (Satanic Panic, Iron throne or just about every other track) instead of epic and that can’t have been the idea…. Less is more would probably have led to a better album in this case. But then again there is plenty of people who seem to kneel at the throne of Sabaton or Hammerfall . For these people Stormborn will be a feast for the ear, so I say to them unpack those plastic swords, put on that plastic harness and sing along to Stormborn!
