Adramelch – Irae Melanox (1988)
An interesting blend of metal; a true cauldron of styles and approaches, with a fantastic yet grounded production. It is easy to get lost in the cheese and polish when it comes to making anything power metal adjacent, but Adramelch’s debut stays bolted firmly down to earth. My one personal complaint is about the vocals, which I am really struggling to enjoy, but that’s a personal thing, no doubt.
Interesting one, this. I have no idea where or how I stumbled across it or even what to compare it to. That itself is surely worth merit.
