( votes)Blood Red Victory is the third album from Ohio based Heavy Metal band Ironflame. The band began in 2016 as a solo project for multi-instrumentalist Andrew D’Cagna, and Blood Red Victory was recorded in much the same way, with D’Cagna performing all parts except lead guitar, which were provided by Quinn Lukas and Jesse Scott, who are part of the live version of the band.
Ironflame touts themselves as a Modern Heavy Metal band, but their sound is very reminiscent of NWOBHM, Epic Metal, and at times, Viking Metal. Lots of twin leads, lyrics about battle, steel, and Heavy Metal glory. Blood Red Victory is a good sounding record, with a bit of a throwback sound. It’s got a bright sound, a sharp snap crack, and a very NWOBHM aesthetic with a more modern production value. The style is definitely a throwback, however.
Fans of NWOBHM, Saxon, Armored Saint, Grim Reaper, and Manowar will most likely enjoy this latest offering from Ironflame. People seeking a modern metal sounding act might be a bit misled by that description, but fans looking for fresh material with modern production in the old school style will find exactly that in Blood Red Victory.
