I happened to stumble upon band called Portrait from Sweden in Youtube, after recommendation by a friend. I was quite impressed with their speedy traditional heavy metal approach flavoured with Mercyful Fate influences obviously. Singers quite high pitched King Diamond'ish wailing combined with rough mid-range screams sound quite non-standard and cool. Riffs scream for 80s heavy/speedmetal.
Sweden seems to be a mecca of new and old but active 80s sounding traditional heavy metal bands these days. Theres just plenty: Torch, RAM, Helvetets Port, Steelwing, Enforcer, Overdrive, Ghost, In Solitude and now also Portrait.
What do you think?
