Greek Heavy Metal bands are here and that is a fact. Bands like SEPTIC FLESH, ROTTING CHRIST, BATTLEROAR etc are making their way through the dark Metal paths with mainly European success. AIRGED L’AMH are kickin’ asses since the early 90’s with reliable Celtic Epic Thrash Metal mentality, from their first demo "Vertigo Edda Arised" (later became "One Eye God", with two bonus tracks) to "Silver Arm", which came out in 2004 and made AIRGED L’AMH one of the heaviest Greek bands while they were building their name with a European tour with BATTLEROAR.
After Black Lotus Records’s lockdown, a great number of Greek bands were on hold, but AIRGED L’AMH shut their, well shaped, asses down and created material for a new album. Recordings took place during last summer’s high Greek temperatures and the band members literally self-financed (from their day jobs) everything, from studio hours, to photoshots and booklet artwork from the well-known artist Mattias Noren. (KAMELOT, EVERGREY, MIND’S EYE, KOTIPELTO, JAG PANZER, SABATON, PLANET X and many more).
When the band called us for a pre-release taste of the new material it was hard to believe that this solid production was made in a Greek studio by a Greek Metal band. Eat Metal Records proudly handled the distribution and finally "Ode To Salvation" is spinning in my CD player. The album has an atmospheric, Celtic instrumental intro, which could easily fit in any Hollywood epic movie. "Midlothian" starts with a nostalgic sense and then reaches the fast aggressive marching drums and horns that give the signal for "The Hunter’ s Path" to charge. A RUNNING WILD-ish riff is all you need, and the Power Metal battle is on, with a melodic epic Celtic triumphant bridge, L’AMH put you right into the battle.
The awesome production is already in the listener’s face with solid guitars and balanced mix. The other thing that I noticed is that AIRGED L’AMH’s tempos are slower than in "Silver Arm"’s extreme Thrash riffs and are getting closer to the likes of the average metalhead. This way there is more space for the band to set the melodies in the right way.
The album’s self titled song "Ode To Salvation" has a pure Power Metal intro that gets you in the mood of the battle right away. Steve Venardo’s vocals have an anger that wasn’t present in "Silver Arm", mainly because in the previous AIRGED L’AMH release he came in the studio with the songs almost ready. In "Ode To Salvation" Steve adds his own attitude without reaching hi-pitched notes (a thing that is common in Power/Epic Metal singers). "Eternal Eyes" is another steady rhythm song that gives us a taste on how IRON MAIDEN influenced AIRGED L’AMH’s music in a way, and George Sofikitis produces an Adrian Smith-based guitar solo with excellent accuracy.
The new thing that AIRGED L’AMH brought to their music in "Ode To Salvation" is the keyboard help of Manolis Gavalas. His crucial contribution to the final result is obvious from the first notes of the album with the "Midlothian" intro. "Dine In Hades", with a wonderful piano intro, unfolds the story of King Leonidas and his 300 Greek soldiers, which we watched as an half-animated blog-buster film last year under the name "300". Inspired by the comic series, Steve Venardo came up with the lyrics for a concept EP that was going to be released from Black Lotus and AIRGED L’AMH put together "Dane In Hades" from material written for this EP.
It’s time for Doom, and the church bell sound is the way to set the mood for it. "Pages Of Essence" has the slow and heavy atmosphere that a Doom song needs, then things get a little faster with a "strange" riff in the middle, to reach their familiar Thrash speed in the end just to make the transportation to pure Epic Power Metal for "The Ritual Lair".
