What a week this has been for Seattle-based, Hawk-themed, team-oriented activities! Not only did I just get to see my beloved Seattle Seahawks reach the precipice of American football via the most awesome post-season arc I could have possibly drawn up, but I also get yet another opportunity to cover my beloved hometown metal heroes, Greyhawk. I’ve written ad nauseam about how I found the band and their brand of hard-rocking traditional metal, and I’ve routinely gushed my appreciation for their commitment to mind-positivity. Yes, it is safe to say that I am a total fanboy. So, it was with a fair bit of trepidation that I sat down with Greyhawk’s third full-length album, Warriors of Greyhawk, knowing it to be the band’s first release since the departure of their distinctive original front man, Revere “Rev” Taylor. I’ve always loved Taylor’s operatic approach to metal singing, so I guess it makes sense that he has moved on to pursue (rather successfully, it appears) a career as a professional opera singer. How does a party carry on after the departure of such a powerful wizard? Let’s find out. Greyhawk’s sound has been undergoing constant evolution since the band’s beginnings, and Warriors of Greyhawk is no different. Over the years, the straightforward heavy metal of the band’s debut EP has morphed to include elements of speed metal, album-oriented rock, and now, with the introduction of new singer Anthony Corso, a healthy dose of power metal. Corso has a much more “standard” approach to metal vocals than Taylor, and his high register leaves him naturally suited to bridge the gap between classic heavy metal and its cheesiest of cousins. Advance single “Ascension” begins in Priestly fashion before handing out some Helloween candy with Corso’s stratospheric chorus. The track strikes the perfect balance between the band’s traditional past and powerful future. Warriors Of Greyhawk by Greyhawk And that balance is a microcosm of the rest of Warriors of Greyhawk. The band’s trad-metal identity is secure with cuts like “Take a Stand,” the Dio-esque title track, and the Accept-able “Embers Rise,” with the latter being the most quintessentially snarl-able heavy metal song I’ve heard so far this year. Thanks to the furious groove laid down by guitarists Jesse Berlin and Rob Steinway and the thunder from bassist Darin “The Bulletproof Barbarian” Wall, the track gives me some serious Dream Evil vibes. But the band just as easily veers into pure power metal with the Running Wild riffing of “Endless Race” and “Land of Ashes, while “Hyperspace” blasts straight to Guitar Hero status with enough pyrotechnics to rival Dragonforce. I dig the production this time out. It feels big and beefy most of the time, but the leads still have that razor-sharp, molten edge to them—*Chef’s kiss*. About the only misstep I can point to is the inclusion of essentially two epic closers back-to-back in “Rise Above” and “Eternal Quest.” Both songs are good, but I think that “Rise Above” fails to match the quality of its set mates and that Warriors of Greyhawk would feel tighter (at 43 minutes instead of 49) and finish more powerfully had it been axed. The band took a risk by including Rev Taylor beside Corso on album highlight “Chosen,” and I’ll admit that hearing his powerful baritone nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it. But ultimately, the track ends up being a fitting farewell to a foundational figure in the band’s history, and it’s the perfect way for fans to compare Greyhawk’s past to its future. Best of luck on your future endeavors, Rev. Metal’s loss is opera’s gain! Warriors of Greyhawk is undoubtedly a transitional album as the band finds its way forward with a new vocalist, but it also feels like the songwriting has reached a new level compared to previous efforts. This leaves Greyhawk with enormous potential moving forward, and honestly, without a minor flub at the album’s close, I’d be tempted to hang a 4.0 on this one. Much like those other Hawks of Seattle, apparently, these guys don’t rebuild; they reload.
