EVILIZERS Lord of the Lost Souls CD

The Italian masters of tradition return with their most ambitious work to date. Released via the heavy metal powerhouse Punishment 18 Records, Lord of the Lost Souls by Evilizers is a 2025 masterclass in Traditional Heavy Metal and Speed Metal. This CD is a high-octane tribute to the foundations of the genre—soaring vocals, galloping rhythms, and twin-guitar harmonies—delivered with a modern, crushing production that demands to be played at maximum volume. The charge begins with the anthemic Rise Up, immediately establishing the band's penchant for powerful choruses and neck-snapping riffs. Evilizers excels at the classic metal formula; tracks like No Return and the razor-sharp Goddess of Pain showcase a band that honors the 80s legends while injecting a fresh, aggressive energy into every note. The technical interplay between the guitars on Scanners and the emotional weight of All Is Gone prove that they are more than just a speed machine—they are master storytellers of the dark and the epic. As the record moves through the defiant Facing My Fear and the sprawling, melodic intensity of A Thousand Thorns, the momentum never wavers. Following a brief, haunting instrumental atmospheric bridge in Before Getting Lost, the album reaches its grand finale with the title track, Lord of the Lost Souls. This closing anthem encapsulates everything Evilizers stands for: pure, unadulterated steel and a dark, captivating atmosphere. This CD is a mandatory acquisition for fans of Judas Priest, Primal Fear, Accept, and Vicious Rumors. If you seek an album that combines the classic spirit of the NWOBHM with the power of modern European metal, Lord of the Lost Souls is an essential piece for your collection.
