‘The Imperial Skies’ Chapters Album Review


London-based progressive metal band Chapters began their journey in 2009, and since then they have been making a name for themselves in the UK metal scene. Their unique blend of heavy metal and progressive rock has gained them thousands of fans across the world so far, and their latest album ‘The Imperial Skies’ is definitely one of the hottest metal albums around.

Opening track ‘I Will Reign Forever’ opens with an incredible technical guitar solo, which instantly proves how Chapters are not just another metal band: their musical skills are both impressive and enjoyable to listen to. Lead vocalist Joseph Nally’s screams are undeniably heavy and brutal, instantly making an impact on your brain.

The disjointed and fast-paced riffs in ‘March Of The Puritan’ are full of energy, making you imagine what Chapters would be like at a live show. Despite constantly changing pace and tempo, the four-piece band have managed to master the art of technical metal songs, making them sound effortless and exciting.

Final track ‘Chapters’ is the perfect end to an exhilarating album: the heavy riffs and vocals merge seamlessly together. Full of breakdowns and spine-chilling screams, Chapters have truly managed to create an album which will stand the test of time.

If you are a fan of bands such as Sylosis and Malefice, then you definitely need to check out Chapters
