Sequel of \u201cLand of The Rising Sun (part 1)\u201d (2024), this new album of Metal de Facto <\/strong>is finally out on the 6th of March. Teased with two great singles, \u201cAcross the Milky Way\u201d and \u201cGojira\u201d, I was really impatient to finally give it a listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal de Facto<\/strong> is a Finnish power metal band founded in 2019. The members are Sami Hinkka <\/strong>(Ensiferum, Ssshhh) playing the bass, Esa Orjatsalo <\/strong>on the guitar, Atte Marttinen <\/strong>on drums, Benjamin Connelly <\/strong>on Keyboard and finally Aitor Arrastia <\/strong>as the main singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slogan of the band is \"Let's make power metal great again!\". Let's see if, with their new album \u201cLand of The Rising Sun (part 2)\u201d we can say that the challenge is complete.
This new album continues well the travel started in 2024: despite being a bit calmer in my opinion, it goes deeper as the atmosphere is more inspired by Japan. We can even find a song with a Japanese title.
The album is an example of real true power metal. It is full of energy, rhythm and roaring guitar. Mix that with an incredible singer and dynamic backup singing (for example in the song \u201cGojira\u201d), you have everything you could ask if you like this genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
