MYSTIC PROPHECY – Hellriot

Heavy duty German icons Mystic Prophecy have come out with studio album number 12: Hellriot. The band is a household name for German Heavy Metal, and this new release furthers that standing with its wall of guitars, killer drumming and anthemic vocals. Speaking of vocals, Roberto Dimitri Liapakis delivers a powerful performance on every track. Add to that the twin guitar attack of Markus Pohl and Evan K with their blistering solos and harmonies, the solid bass work of Joey Roxx, and the monstrous drumming of Hanno Kerstan, and you have a recipe for great Heavy Metal.
