Archon Angel have put out Without Eyes, the second song from Beyond The Grave, which Frontiers release on 11 December.
The voice is the reason most people will click. Zak Stevens sang on Savatage through Edge of Thorns and Handful of Rain, and Archon Angel is the band Aldo Lonobile built around him in 2019 with the Frontiers house musicians: Alessandro Del Vecchio on keyboards, Nik Mazzucconi on bass and Marco Lazzarini on drums.
It is their third album, after Fallen in 2020 and II in 2023, and the title track came out as a single first. What the band do is unapologetically what Frontiers do: melodic heavy metal with progressive arrangement and a chorus arriving when it should, written for people who think the nineties got this right the first time.
The members live between Italy and the United States, which is why the records happen at the pace they do rather than faster.
