Cleveland, Ohio has been the king of sports lately. But query the city’s music scene and you’ll find these five members on the royal court. Wretch has been around for decades but has become quite active in recent years with success in Europe. They’ve got plenty of Traditional Metal sound and have honed it further with new vocalist Juan Ricardo.

The Hunt plays like a good novel with intervals of suspense, action, and rest. Although not billed as a concept album, it progresses through medieval and mythical imagery. There are a lot of catchy tracks — notably “Throne Of Poseidon” — and a couple classical guitar instrumentals. One of those, “Fortune’s Fool”, superbly transitions into the speedy-riff storyline of “The King In Red”. The Hunt could be a little tighter, but is still loyal to its genre and would make a fine addition to your Metal weaponry.

Jude Cossey

Jude was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, living in Taiwan but originally from the great state of Ohio, USA. He first got into music when a fellow weirdo in his catholic high school needed someone to play guitar with. They jammed on some Grunge Rock, but soon he got hooked on the blisteringly-fast shredding of Randy Rhoads and other greats. Later, he bought Metallica's Ride The Lightning as his first album purchase. During that time, his friends and him would end up at local Metal shows. He played in some bands himself as well.
