Ranger - Skull Splitting Metal
Review by Karl Talbot
Ranger's Skull Splitting Metal is a true masterpiece of heavy metal music. From the very first note, the album immerses the listener in a world of fast-paced riffs, thunderous drums, and powerful vocals.
The band's technical prowess is on full display throughout the album, with each song showcasing their ability to seamlessly blend intricate guitar solos with bone-crushing rhythms. The tracks are infused with a raw energy that is both exhilarating and infectious.
What sets Skull Splitting Metal apart from other metal albums is its ability to balance intensity with melody. Ranger's songs are not just a barrage of noise, but rather a carefully crafted collection of tunes that are just as catchy as they are heavy.
The album's standout tracks include "Storm of Power," "Deadly Feast," and "Evil Barrier," which all feature blistering guitar work and a relentless drive that will have even the most stoic metalheads banging their heads in approval.
