WARKINGS are a European power metal band with quirky warrior stage names and a Viking warrior concept.

Take out your swords as ITP V.022 has WARKINGS new release "MORGANA" on tap to review.

WARKINGS "MORGANA" kicks off with "HELLFIRE enters with thrash complimented but screamed and clean vocals. "HELLFIRE is a well written song with a good, versatile vocal performance.

WARKINGS "TO THE KING" is another well written, mid tempo track, a little tempered from the previous one."TO THE KING" features a catchy chorus, a cinematic, orchestral feel and excellent clean vocals. .

WARKINGS "MONSTERS" features good clean and screamed vocals as the song is a mid paced rocker reminding me of German metal band SCORPIONS. .

WARKINGS "LAST OF THE ENGLISH" is a heavier track with more pronounced thrash to power metal rock elements..GEORGE NEUHAUSER'S vocals paint a beauty in darkness and melodic picture of the songs concept. .

WARKINGS. "HEART OF RAGE" employs acoustic sitar , electrics guitars and both clean and screamed vocals with great effect as the song has a beautiful (song along) chorus.

WARKINGS "ROW (INTO THE STORM)" invoked the nautical as the track is one of the calmer, mid paced numbers. However, "ROW (INTO THE STORM)" has melodic moments as the you can hear the chant of the warriors rowing "ROW, ROW, ROW!".

WARKINGS "IMMORTAL" is a slightly heavier track with pronounced riffs and screamed and cleaned vocals. "IMMORTAL is well written rocker.

WARKINGS "SHAME" features a rolling thrash riff set to chanting the songs title and a good vocal performance via .GEORGE NEUHAUSER dueling with a female vocalist..

WARKINGS "THE RITE" features middle eastern influenced guitar and an upbeat pace. Good rhythm guitar riffs adorn "THE RITE" along with the usual stellar vocal performance.

WARKINGS "MORGANA" closes with "LEGEND UNTOLD", is mid paced, well written track with some thrash riffs and good solos.

WARKINGS "MORGANA" is a concept release of sorts about an Arthurian witch and her relationship with the King as the concept is split into four chapters.

WARKINGS "MORGANA" features an excellent vocal performance via GEORGE NEUHAUSER' and some awesome vocal chorus.

WARKINGS songwriting can vary between good and some of the tracks sounding similar as that might have to do with lack of riff variety.

Overall, WARKINGS "MORGANA" was an enjoyable listen with some good tunes. .

ITP RATING: ***1/2

PRODUCTION: ****

SONGWRITING: ***1/2

SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?. BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality.
