Spirits of Fire – Embrace The Unknown (2022)

Spirits of Fire é um supergrupo composto por uma seleção de alto nível, começando pelo guitarrista do Savatage e da Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Chris Caffery, o baixista do Megadeth, Steve Di Giorgio (ex-Death, ex-Iced Earth), e o ex-baterista do Fates Warning, Mark Zonder. Tim “Ripper” Owens, ex-Judas Priest e Iced Earth, foi membro fundador da banda antes de sair em 2021, sendo substituído pelo italiano Fabio Lione (Angra, Turilli / Lione Rhapsody, ex-Rhapsody of Fire).
This year the band released their second album, Embrace The Unknown, on Frontiers Records.
Focusing its sound on classic and absolute heavy metal, naturally the quality of the musicians involved stands out from start to finish, but this is not enough to leave a mark or thrill, although one or two tracks excite more, the album fulfills its mission well, amusing and entertaining. In particular, I'm a fan of the work that Frontiers has done with these reunions of established musicians. Although the results are mostly satisfactory, some projects can sometimes sound generic. I'm not saying that this is the case with Spirits Of Fire, which delivers a good heavy metal album, but it certainly won't be a work that I'll remember in December 2022.
Embrace The Unknown fulfills its mission, it's captivating, it's fun and it features a Fabio Lione in great form, it's worth it for the high-level selection that is Spirits Of Fire.
