Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as their final studio album, the Canadian outfit proudly wore their traditionalist influences on their sleeves with 'Long Live Heavy Metal'. The record completely sheds their earlier metalcore tendencies, delivering a pure, unapologetic homage to 1980s New Wave of British Heavy Metal, anchored by Cam Pipes' soaring, Halford-esque falsetto shrieks.
