ANGBAND, one of our most exotic bands, is back with their third record Saved From The Truth. Formed in 2004, the four dedicated metal heads from the Iranian capital Tehran have been on our label since their debut album Rising From Apadana in 2008. Since then to real insiders they are known for honest Power Metal with a small progressive touch.
The 9 brand new songs were again produced by Achim Köhler -- except the calm last track Bitter End, all of them with a playing time between five and six minutes. He gave an own identity to the new songs, thus topping the predecessor Visions Of The Seeker. The even more developed vocals of front-man Ashkan Yazdani sometimes show similarities to King Diamond in the middle-high singing-passages, sometimes even in high-pitched-screams. The songwriting also remembers a little bit to Savatage.
With Saved From The Truth, ANGBAND proves that there are also some Metal-maniacs in a strictly Islamic country, which play despite of all the government barriers -- real Heavy Metal of a Western style!
