If you are looking for epic Metal, then look no further than Italy's ARDITYON and their self-titled album! This album is absolutely powerful! Comprised of five members including Denis Novello on Drums, Albert "Marshall" Biason on Guitars, De Zordo Valeriano on Vocals, Diego Bordin on Bass and Andrea Colusso on Guitars and Keys.
The album starts off with an incredible Intro which was perfect for the beginning of this epic quest. The first song though is "Ardityon" and oh my god is this song fucking amazing! They absolutely killed it on this track. The next song up is "Our Music" and it's just as incredible as the previous song. It's not every day in 2019 that you can find Metal this well written especially epic metal. This song isn't as epic but it's still immaculate. So far this band has completely impressed me.
"Archons Attack" is up next and keeps the pace up and truly is enthralling. Everything about this song is brilliant, from the Vocals to the Bass, it's all incredible. I haven't heard Power Metal this good since when I reviewed the re-release of the DEMONS AND WIZARDS catalogue. Up next we have "Guilty of Homicide" which slows it down in the beginning which is a nice change up and then it gets heavy again. This is also the longest song on the album.
"Pain of the World" takes a drastic turn in the beginning and is actually a slower yet utterly beautifully written song. This album wouldn't be complete without a song like this. I think it's what people refer to as a ballad. This song really will put you in your feelings and bring you back out of them. "Ancient Enemy" brings us back to the insanity and it does not disappoint in the slightest. This song is truly a beautiful song and it's really well written. I enjoyed absolutely every last second of it.
"Zombie Apocalypse" is by far one of the best songs on the album and one of my favorites so far. I really don't know what else to say about it but GOD DAMN! This song was completely intense and very well constructed. The second to last song is "Glory Day" and it's another one of my favorites. I honestly think this album so far has nothing wrong with it at all. The final song on the album is "Daily Holocaust" and it's hands down my favorite song on the album. This song is also such a fitting end to such an incredible album. I really hope to hear more from this band in the future. I think they might be the best Power Metal band to come out in the most recent years. Good job guys keep it up!
