Spain's Lords Of Black return in 2021 with a new album, the follow-up to 2020's well received Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. I. The new album, Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II is a thematic continuation of the story started on the previous album. Musically, vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Sunstorm, The Ferrymen) delivers a powerful vocal performance and guitarist Tony Hernando delivers some of the best melodic metal he has ever written. With the downtime created by the global pandemic, Hernando worked incredibly hard to create music that pushed past the boundaries of anything the band had done in the past. The new album is the logical successor to what has started on the last album and shows a newfound musical maturity from the band, who incorporate several musical elements into their style.
Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II enhances the perception that Lords Of Black are now ready to ascend to the upper tiers of European melodic metal. Heavier and darker compared to the album that preceded it, Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II is an album not to be missed by both melodic metal and progressive metal fans alike. An absolute delight for the ears and another classic in the making from these Spanish masters.
Like its predecessor, Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II is setting a new gold standard for melodic metal in the new decade.
