Raptore - Renaissance - Dark heavy metal from Spain! The 3rd album is catchy as usual while introducing new influences. / Truly titled, Renaissance is a tour-de-force of classic & classy HEAVY METAL steeped in all the black velvet and neon-lit chrome of the mythical '80s. So authentically rendered and passionately played, so rapturously engaging and dreamily transcendental, it would not be remiss to suggest that RAPTORE somehow travelled through time and returned with a lost sacred scroll from 1986 or even 1989.
