Power Paladin - With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel

Iceland's power metal lords Power Paladin with their 9-track strong debut album titled With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel. The opus is a historical landmark for both the group and Atomic Fire Records, being the label's first full-length release since it's recent founding. - Recorded and produced by POWER PALADIN, mixed by Haukur Hannes at Mastertape Studios (Auðn, Dynfari etc.) and mastered by Frank de Jong at Hal5 Studio (Bleeding Gods etc.), With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel makes no secret of the band's musical idols: "Iron Maiden, Dio, Helloween - the list of bands from the '80s that influence us is a kind of obvious, but growing up we've actually listened way more to the second wave of power metal and acts such as Edguy, Rhapsody, and Hammerfall, " they explain. The group's love for fantasy games and books from authors such as Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie doesn't go unnoticed either: James Child (Astral Clock Tower Studios) translated that inspiration into the record's adventurous artwork.
