This week, we start out with some new stuff and end with a couple of old favorites, including one all-time favorite ...
Ashes of Ares, “Move the Chains.” From the album Ashes of
Ares (2013). Made up of fomer members of Iced Earth (vocalist Matt Barlow and
guitarist Freddie Vidales) and Nevermore (drummer Van Williams), Ashes of Ares
sounds pretty much like what you’d expect. That’s not a bad thing at all,
though. “Move the Chains” is one of the better tracks on a very good album, very
reminiscent of Barlow’s early work with Iced Earth.
