Whenever the stars align for any particular style, it's almost always a sight that demands to be seen for practically every given regard for all that such a high mark in music can accomplish. Whether it's achieving a classic old school sound or tapping into a different plane altogether such that you take your sound to new reaches previously unexplored, there's glory to be had so long as you pay close attention to the finer details. That's no different for the likes of heavy metal with the classic sound something that many still actively seek in today's world with not enough doing it proper justice. With their third album, Angel Sword more than hits the mark time after time.
Dealing with a style like this, it's hard to find yourself expecting a high level of quality given all that the sound has brought to the table and is still clearly capable of doing thanks to acts like Visigoth and Sumerlands showing us how it's done on a consistent basis. There has always been more than enough room for new names to come and fill the void so that we always have more material to fawn over with it certainly being a little bit of time since I've come across a name that I haven't heard of before with Angel Sword now absolutely filling that exact void. For all that they sought to deliver with "World Fighter", it should go without saying that this Finnish act has certainly hit the nail right on the head in practically each of the eight offerings we see here. Right from the beginning does Angel Sword make it clear that they're here for a damn good time with the infectious attitude and captivating songwriting coming together to pack quite a punch as "Word Fighter" is constantly firing on all cylinders to deliver an experience that hits all the right notes for a work of heavy metal that delivers in damn near every aspect. Whimsical but still no less than a serious slab of heavy metal, Angel Sword has done nothing but justice for all that the style can still be.
I think it's safe to say that, given their reputation up to this point, Angel Sword should be more than qualified to be considered one of the need-to-know acts in the current state of heavy metal for all that they bring to the table in every given instance. Another tremendous victory for the band and the genre, "World Fighter" is simply a no-brainer for anyone looking for a good time.
