Intranced (Red Vinyl)

Comprised of musicians from the latest wave of classic heavy metal rising on the US East Coast (Fortress and Poisoned Chalice, amongst others) and graced with the pipes of James-Paul Luna (formerly of Holy Grail and White Wizzard), Intranced have become a hot commodity within the scene with only one EP and single. And you clearly understand why once you've heard the L. A. quartet's six-track debut tape Intranced (2022) and succeeding two-track cassette/12-inch Rogue Warrior (2023), which marry sparkling musicianship with pristine songwriting that basically makes their music incorruptible from the get-go. ""I thought it would be a blast to start an old-school metal project that still had a rock feel behind it,"" singer Luna explains. ""That period where hard rock started to become metal, yet still had that groove, funk, and boogie to it. "" Whether it's traditional US power metal spiced up with rock'n'roll swagger as in 'Upside Down', the punk attitude of the otherwise wistful epic 'Dream Lover', or the fast-paced band anthem 'Intranced' - Intranced set the bar incredibly high with their first eight songs. Crowned by a cover from legendary artist Michael Whelan, the EP is now available on vinyl for the very first time, including Rogue Warrior as a bonus to shorten the time until the release of Intranced's first album later in 2024. 1.
