Fortress - Don't Spare the Wicked (classic-style heavy metal from Whittier, California)

There is a whole bunch of bands called Fortress, but this is the Whittier, California, USA, Fili Bibiano’s Fortress. Fortress is all-out, loud and proud classic-style heavy metal with a magician for a guitarist and an air raid siren for a vocalist. When traditional heavy metal bands are able to find themselves the right singer, this is how good things can sound. One question for the people living in Whittier, California is: If you have seen the band live, can the band pull this sound live? Can the singer do this for real on the stage under the bright and hot lights when the eyes and ears of the poeple are listening? Supporters of traditional, melodic heavy metal will neeed to sit up straight and take notice of Fortress because with this recording the band means business, and they are pointing directly at anyone that enjoys rocking riffs, headbanging songs and a singer that can wail, and wail he does. If this band can learn to get along and keep a stable line-up, and keeps making music, it is very possible that they might be coming to your town if you live somewhere in California, Oregon and Washington as they begin to make the trips up and down the West Coast. Here in the Seattle area there is a certain loyal audience that has been supporting traditional heavy metal and those people would be ready to grab their denim jackets and head out to bang their heads to Fortress.
Germany, you are next!
