HIGH POWER - High Power (Digital Download)

Shadow Kingdom Records is thrilled to introduce our all-time favorite 80's French Heavy Metal band and album, HIGH POWER. Their musical essence can be best described as a fusion of 70's JUDAS PRIEST, renowned for their powerful songs with compelling lyrics like "Dreamer Deceiver," "Run of the Mill," "Victim of Changes," "Saints in Hell," and more. HIGH POWER expertly combines the finest elements from JUDAS PRIEST's first four albums, infuses a hint of IRON MAIDEN, and adds a touch of the groundbreaking darkness that VENOM brought to the scene at the time. The result? A virtually flawless Heavy Metal masterpiece. This album boasts lightning-fast riffs, soaring vocals that push the boundaries, and a melodramatic atmosphere that takes listeners on an unforgettable Heavy Metal journey. The relentless barrage of riffs and captivating harmonies make for an enthralling experience. The vocals, reminiscent of a blend between Rob Halford and King Diamond, predominantly channel the spirit of Rob Halford but exhibit the acrobatics characteristic of King Diamond. The guitar work is monumental, with intricate and fascinating leads. It's everything you could wish for in an 80's Classic Heavy Metal album, and then some. There's an abundance to discover in this album, so if you haven't had the pleasure before, invest some quality time with it – it'll stay with you forever.

We are aware that hidden among us are fans of this band. In fact, we have friends in Canada with a fantastic band named after one of HIGH POWER's songs, "Cauchemar," which translates to "Nightmare" in English. Although there are numerous demos, live tracks, and unreleased bonuses we could have included, we believed that adding bonus tracks might compromise the album's overall quality. In the case of this extraordinary band, we felt that these bonus tracks wouldn't unveil some hidden gems, so we chose to exclude them. Instead, we decided to offer an exclusive T-Shirt, available in any size, through the Shadow Kingdom Records online store.
