The Danish power metal heroes of Iron Fire are very persistent and with their new record Metalmorphosizedthe band proves once again that their power metal is more than just alive.

For more than ten years, the band has been building towards the top of their genre, but they never really succeeded in achieving a huge break-through. Fortunate enough, Metalmorphosized offers those power metal fans what they need: explosive guitar riffs, wonderful melodies and incredibly blasting drums in combination with an amazing voice that will blow your ears off! With some incredibly catchy choruses added to this album, a new masterpiece is worth to check out, whether you’re a power metal fan or not. Iron Fire has really grown up with this album. Songs like “Reborn to Darkness”, “Nightmare” and “Back in the Fire” really show us what they mean with the third song on the album, entitled “Still Alive”. Iron Fire treats us with eleven brand new songs and these are more than welcome. However, I have to admit, after their previous albums (Thunderstorm and On the Edge), I was rather sick and tired of their sound. Fortunately, Metalmorphosized is indeed a true transformation, one hell of a metamorphose of their original sound.

Best song on the album? “Riding To Hell”. Why? Have a look at the elements I mentioned here and you’ll know why!
