Freedom's Rise

Originating from the burgeoning Connecticut metal scene, this incredibly fast and aggressive debut established the blueprint for pure, uncompromising American power metal. 'Freedom's Rise' features blindingly fast, neoclassical twin-guitar riffing paired with Andy Michaud's towering, high-register vocal performance. Operating entirely independently from mainstream commercial rock trends, the album became a highly revered, foundational text for extreme heavy metal purists.
