The August Engine
The first Hammers Of Misfortune album was a real suprise, coming out of left field (San Francisco actually). The band has redefined their sound a bit for the second go around and they continue to amaze me. Gone are all the death vocals. The band utilizes both male and female vocals and weaves lots of folk and even prog elements into what is an overtly traditional power metal sound. The whole thing has a nice warm analog 70s vibe - it's not slick in a Euro-metal way. Maybe I'm an old timer but any album that balances power with melodies and hooks is a winner in my book. Highly recommended.
