V.A. - Azores & Metal Vol #2 (Compilation 2022)
“You may not believe in Azorean Heavy Metal, but it exists!”. Portugal’s Ponta Delgada-based label Museu do Heavy Metal Açoriano is back with its second volume of Azores & Metal compilation series, assembling some more 17 most active bands from the islands. Just like Vol.#1 that I checked in Reveal #14, I was once again fascinated and even more stunned by the quality of each band appeared in this Vol.#2. Each of them has given the best in terms of sound production, ideas that are rich in variety and full of color, song compositions in high creativity beyond limitations, a few of them are smart and brave to inject some non-metal elements, modern characteristics and other surprisingly unexpected features. Azores & Metal compilation is solid proof that there is a worthwhile metal scene in that Portuguese archipelago, and it’s like an ever-rolling ocean wave!
