Javelin - for fans of Tad Morose and Brainstorm

[Justin G]

Here's one that came my way via Pure Steel's Pure Underground imprint. Javelin has apparently been kicking around since 1982 but is only now releasing an album. It's surprisingly good heavy prog/power metal that reminds me a lot of Tad Morose.

Wow....this is REALLY good. Something new for me to pick up!

I cannot fathom how a band could go over 20 years together and not release a single album.

With that said, this track sounds pretty effin' cool! I checked their album on Spotify and you can tell they are influenced by some 80s' style metal, as well as more straight forward stuff like Iron Maiden, Grave Digger and Hammerfall. I prefer the Tad Morose-like sound better, but good call nonetheless.

Sounds excellent- thanks for sharing!!! Will have to pick this up as well. I have liked most of the bands and releases from Pure Steel records and its imprints lately.
