Century - traditional heavy metal from Sweden

Century

The Conquest of Time

No Remorse Records

21.04.2023

Classic-style heavy metal band Century (Sweden) did a demo in 2020, a single in 2022 and the time for the debut full-length has arrived. Interestingly enough, this is not yet a full band because it is Leo Ekström on drums and bass and Staffan Tengnér on guitars, vocals and bass. The album is nine songs in 36 minutes. The most appealing factor is their melodies. They prefer melodies that are not overly sweet. The singing is important, but this is riff and rhythm headbanging music. The singing fits the music, but it seems too secondary and could stand for Staffan to devote more time to that area, in addition to improving on the lyrics, as some of these lyrics are too typical and empty, and are there for Staffan to have something to sing, not something to express from the heart. Don’t let the constructive criticism fool you, I have enjoyed this album a lot and I appreciate their effort very much. Expect serious heavy metal with a tendency towards a melodic-ominous style.
