Trial (swe) - Sulphery (official video)

The traditional heavy metal of Trial (Sweden) returned in 2022 with the album Feed the Fire. Below are two videos already published on YouTube. This is their fourth album. The band began in 2007 and they prefer to write their name as Trial (Swe) because, as Metal Archives shows, Trial is the name of a bunch of other bands, not just this one.

These two videos are rather accurate representations of the sound of the album. The band has a style characterized by good guitar playing, in that regard follow the tradition of Judas Priest and Mercyful Fate. The singing is high, although it does not sound exceedingly high in the sense of showing off. The singing and the guitar playing are probably the two elements that will catch people's attention.

The two other Swedish bands that are similar in tradition are Ram and Portrait. Both of those bands make entertaining albums worth of keeping, and both of those bands also radiate a Judas Priest/Mercyful Fate way of making heavy metal. Having said, Trial (Swe) have made an album that is worth exploring in depth, if listeners are interested in that type of guitar-focused, ominous heavy metal with high singing. However, unlike Mercyful Fate, which features some singing that turns people off because it is too weird for them, Trial (Swe) is good singing without any peculiar, horror or strange traits in the singing. On the other hand, the lyrics and imagery have an obscurantist vibe, and some readers that are picky about lyrics may not be impressed with the band's use of the typical metal lyrics that seem to say nothing but do it in a grandiose way that is considered cheesy by some audiences.
