RAIDER OF THE ANCIENT STORM

METAL TALK
“Riders Of The Ancient Storm is a magnificent slab of old-school traditional Metal which contains several unexpected twists and turns. [...] High tempo, clean vocals that soar with the fantastic tales that the band paints, and superb musicianship, all crafted with a retro vibe that works on every level.”
Paul Hutchings of “Metal Talk”, published September 28, 2023. [klick for Metal Talk]
