Pyramid Of Terror

Approaching a full forty years on from 1980 - arguably the greatest year in metal history - it can be vanishingly difficult in the here and now to find bands who can summon up the true elixir of traditional heavy metal in all its gory glory. Certainly, there have been manifold variants of this supernatural force in the last four decades, yet for all the power-metal diversions and Pro-Tooled machinations that have crossed Riding Easy's transom, the blood-simple formula of steel-plated grandeur and street-level grit remains mystifyingly elusive.

Lucky for everyone therefore, that the Cypriot denizens of darkness Mirror have returned. The brainchild of former Electric Wizard and Satan's Wrath bassist Tas Danazoglou, Mirror's second album sees them building on the heroic vibrations of their self-titled 2015 debut, summoning forth nine triumphant anthems that are equal parts lethal and life-affirming.
