Editorial Reviews

There was something special in the air circa the mid- to late '80s in the metal world, as bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer first introduced the masses to thrash metal with what seemed like classic release after classic release. The Chillicothe, OH-based quintet, Woe of Tyrants, must feel the same way, as their 2007 release Behold the Lion (how's that for a metal album title!), harkens directly back to the days of mullets, leather jackets, tight acid-washed jeans, and white high top basketball sneakers. Galloping rhythms, manly/hollered vocals, Iron Maiden-esque guitar harmonies are the name of the game throughout (they even "borrow" a song title from Maiden: "Revelations") -- from beginning to end, no apologies. Tracks such as "Hail the Count" and the title track are sure to make perfect sense to many a shoulder-length haired gentleman. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

i am actually friends with these guys, this album is their first work, and they were discovered by Tribunal records, but that label went under. this album for what style it is is decent, but it is not the highest recording quality and it doesn't have the level of strength, power, and intricacies that their later work on Metal blade records have.

of either way, a true fan trying to support them should buy it, but i personally only care for 3 songs the most, the rest i sort of just zone out to, lol.

For a young group "Woe of Tyrants" is very mature musically. This is a very impressive first album and well worth your hard earned Shekels!!

They put to shame a hell of a lot of the Old school groups and lead the way for the second generation of would be Metal gods.

If you are into hearing guitars scream, killer blast beat's, along with [..]vocals... then make sure you grab this CD before they are gone! The range of the singer's vocals are commendable, and I can honestly say I have never heard so much guitar content in my life. After reading the lyrics provided with the cd, these guys are not only amazing musicians, but intelligent young men. These guys are the future of the metal scene, and Metal Blade was wise in picking them up.
