Wise Blood Records
17 March 2023
This is the self-titled debut album from Mike Pardi (Empty Throne, Innerfury, ex-Psionic, ex-Possessed, ex-Ritual, ex-Xasthur, ex-Casket of Dreams) on guitars, bass, vocals, keyboards, songwriting, and lyrics. Ardent Nova is traditional heavy metal from a guitarist more used to playing extreme metal. It is to be assumed that he does not have the capability to sing melodically as necessary for the genre, which is why he growls instead. Expect growling heavy metal with Viking-themed lyrics and all the usual glorification of pagan times (you know, the times of human sacrifice, lawless murder, theft and slavery). It’s Arizona-man metal with tons of Maiden influences and lots of Viking themes. Fans that like traditional heavy metal but that do not enjoy opera singing and imagine Iron Maiden with growled vocals now have a project from Arizona to add to that section of their collection where they have their Amon Amarth albums.
