“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
It’s hard to believe that, for all of my exposure to (and taste for) great power metal, I’ve never come across a certain Danish power metal band by the name of IRON FIRE. Fortunately, I corrected that rather egregious oversight last week, and have been listening to their last five albums pretty much non-stop since then.
If I had my way, these would be cranked up full-blast in every powerlifting gym in the land. Just you try listening to “Back in the Pit” or “Gates of Cybertron” or “Ironhead” or “The Underworld” without going straight into beast mode.
