Ravensire - The Cycle Never Ends
Review by Jackie Hutchings
The Cycle Never Ends, the latest album by Ravensire, is a powerful and impressive display of traditional heavy metal. The Portuguese band has delivered an album that is both authentic and modern, combining classic elements of the genre with a fresh and dynamic approach.
From the opening track "The Wanderer's Farewell" to the closing epic "The Sword's Lament", Ravensire delivers a masterclass in heavy metal songwriting. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member contributing to the album's rich and layered sound.
The Cycle Never Ends is a concept album that tells the story of a warrior's journey through life and death. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures of battles, honor, and sacrifice. The album's themes are both timeless and relevant, making it a must-listen for any fan of heavy metal.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cromlech Revelations", an epic song that showcases the band's ability to craft memorable hooks and soaring choruses. Other highlights include "Temple at the End of the World", a mid-tempo anthem with a haunting melody, and "Guardian Stones", a fast-paced track with a driving rhythm section.
