Realm: Endless War (Silver/Ltd)

Realm was an American heavy metal/ technical thrash band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The band was formed in 1985 by guitarists Paul Laganowski and Takis Kinis. Genealogical lines from Mercyful Fate, the NWOBHM over Metal Church to Agent Steel and even Slayer will pop to mind, while listening to this album. Also a close kinship with metal bands as Toxik, Watchtower and Annihilator can be heard. Discussing Realm primarily in terms of overlap with these other acts, would do injustice to the distinct musical identity the band has carved out for itself. Endless War breathes intensity from start to finish, even a thrash rendition of the Beatles"' Eleanor Rigby can be found on this album. Realm found the perfect blend for an unforgettable dynamic delivery of their own thrash to the max. Endless War is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on silver coloured vinyl and includes an insert. This edition features the CD-only track ""Theseus and the Minotaur"" as bonus track.
