The struggle in searching for unpolished US metal is as epic as the battles bands like Warlord and Manilla Road wrote about, but a beacon has emerged in the form of Ceres. A cross country collaboration between Jesse Balgley and Leo Kabat, Ceres delivers the riffs and hooks rarely found in today’s sea of mediocre heavy metal. Tyrant’s Rise delivers nearly 19 minutes of true metal power that will surely stand the test of time.
