| Description | Fans of Classic Heavy Metal and Doom Metal wait with abated breath for the anticipated debut full album, "Last Days of Babylon", from Swedish metal saviours THE SONIC OVERLORDS. Founded in 2017 by guitarist Morgan Zocek, who played in an Ozzy tribute band and opted to begin writing original music with the same classic darkness, melody, and power of classic late ''70/early ''80s heavy metal but with a more modern approach to the production and sonics. The full sound of THE SONIC OVERLORDS began to solidify as members came in that shared the same vision and enthusiasm, including drummer Per Solang, vocalist Marcus Zachrisson Rubin and bassist Daniel Ramírez. The group''s blend of melodic rock majesty and thunderous doom was first revealed with the release of their debut single, "In My Darkest Room," in October 2020. That song gained rock radio airplay throughout Scandinavia and subsequently spread throughout mainland Europe, the U.S. and Australia as DJs and programmers were drawn to the group''s combination of powerful dark riffs and the epic melodicism with influences from the likes of Dio/Martin-era Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Judas Priest, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, early Candlemass, Yngwie J. Malmsteen/Rising Force, Scorpions and MSG. The band''s blend of power, darkness and musicality was recognized by former Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin via a shout-out on his social media channels that led to a friendship and Martin even offering to sing one of the band''s songs, which appears as a bonus track. For fans of: Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Candlemass, Dio, Yngwie J. Malmsteen/Rising Force, Scorpions, Uriah Heep, MSG |
