ZEPHANIAH – Reforged

Zephaniah is an up-and-comer in the Progressive Power/Thrash/Epic Metal arena. Hailing from (of all places) Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA, these “youngsters” show impressive acumen in subgenres that are not heavily supported in their neck of the woods. When you think about it, there can really be somewhat of a fine line between Thrash and Power Metal (especially German-based Power Metal) in the first place, and Zephaniah opts often to stretch those limits in every possible way. The end product is a skillfully done, enjoyable, and impressive sophomore release entitled Reforged, which Power and Thrash Metal enthusiasts should definitely check out.
