Dungeons and Dragons-influenced Metal that deals a deadly dose of NWOBHM and Power Metal complete with a resounding four-song concept; that's what BLAZON RITE serve from the dungeons of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Upon the 2019 formation of BLAZON RITE, guitarist and primary songwriter James Kirn had quite the simple, but universal edict: He wanted “heads to bang”. While such an approach has defined Metal for the past 40 years, Kirn wanted to put his twist on the genre by combining his love of obscure ’70s Hard Rock and Power Metal while exploring the vast fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons. In the span of a few months, BLAZON RITE had assembled and recorded the four songs that would comprise their debut four-song EP, "Dulce Bellum Inexpertis", which will be released worldwide on September 25th via Gates Of Hell Records.
Recorded and mastered by Rich Scott at 8th House Recordings in 2019, "Dulce Bellum Inexpertis" finds BLAZON RITE (who are rounded out by bassist-turned-vocalist Johnny Halladay, drummer Ryan Haley and bassist, lead guitarist and keyboardist, Pierson Roe) expertly crafting punchy, anthemic numbers that jousts between vintage, NWOBHM-inspired Metal and dramatic European acts such as BLIND GUARDIAN and HELLOWEEN.
