The new HolyHell album

Just downloaded the new HolyHell album. Sounds great so far and I love Maria Breon's voice. HolyHell have been touring with MANOWAR for the last years and I've been lucky to see the band a few times.

There's a couple of new songs as well as some they've been playing for some time now; my personally favorites are Eclipse and Resurrection.

Behind the drums are no one else than RHINO, the former MANOWAR drummer who recorded the legendary "The Triumph of Steel"-album.

It will be great to see them again on Norway Rock and Magic Circle Festival this summer.

Background: Achilles, Agony & Ecstasy (in eight parts)

On the 1992 album "The Triumph of Steel", there's a song called "Achilles, Agony & Ecstasy (in eight parts)" which is almost 30 minutes long. The song is the story of the Greek epic poem called The Iliad.

If you're interested to read more about it, there's a good article here.

This is a very interesting article which analyzes the lyrics of the MANOWAR song. A must if you're interested in the story.
