Wretch - Reborn

[tsorl]

Anyone familiar with this band? This is just the kind of traditional, ballsy US power metal most UMOS regulars should go and over. There's 2min samples at CDBaby, now I just need to find out if the album's available at all in Europe...

Happy to see that there is a thread for this band

I have bought this album and it's a very good piece of traditional heavy metal in the vein of Metal Church, Anvil and (early) Jag Panzer. It also contains a good cover of the song "Touch Like Thunder" from the legendary, but underrated, Cleveland band BREAKER.
I don't know if it is available in Europe, I got it through an american mailorder, but it's worth to buy it.

Favorite songs:

Nothing
Eyes of Fate
The Winners

I asked about this from a couple of record stores and it was indeed unavailable. Kinda silly really, because everyone knows the largest market for this kind of metal is in Europe. You'd think the main priority for these bands/labels would be a European distribution deal?
Of course as we're living in the internet age I've heard the album already and it is good! Strong US power metal with absolutely none modern influences, as you said Metal Church and Ample Destruction -JP fans should take note.

So, the search continues...

You are right, but as you know these bands have not the possibilities even to sign a good contract with a small label. Wretch are out there from the early '80s and they managed to release their debut only on 2006!

If you use credit card and you want to buy the album, I think that you can find it at the following european mailorders.

Wow, these guys' catalogue is pretty nice! I found like 6-7 albums I've been seeking for ages here. Definitely have to place an order sooner or later, thanks for the link.

This band sounds tasty! I'd sure like to sample the whole album before buying though. Mewonders if Carnut might have it available at a SS connection soon...
