Beschreibung
RIGORIOUS is one of the most promising and interesting young German
power metal bands and has been enriching heavy metal in its more modern
form with synthesizer and orchestral elements since 2021. Just one year
after its founding, they made their first mark on the scene in 2022 with the
EP „Iron Wings / Power Of My Sword“ and their debut album followed in
2023. „Night of Retribution“ was enthusiastically celebrated by fans and the
press and the quintet managed to share the stage with acts such as GRAVE
DIGGER, BRAINSTORM, RAGE, ORDEN OGAN and SERIOUS BLACK within a
very short time.
The long-awaited successor „Kingdom Unfold“ will follow in January 2025.
Again produced, mixed and mastered by GRAVE DIGGER singer Chris
Boltendahl in the Graveyard Studio in Cologne, the Monheim band shows
that there is no standstill for them. The songs are again characterized by
the unique RIGORIOUS DNA, so you can find everything from ballads to
pounding rockers, but everything is melodic, yet heavy and catchy and
never boring. They even managed the almost impossible task of showcasing
singer Lukas‘ unique voice, which ranges from clean to rough and spans
three octaves, even better and setting great accents in the songs. At the
beginning of 2025, you can also hear his monster voice live, which peaks at
107 dB, louder than a jackhammer.
