CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNEDWhen a band was founded by a former Iced Earth drummer (Richard Christy) and also includes a vocalist who previously sang lead with Iced Earth and Judas Priest (Tim "Ripper" Owens), one has a pretty good idea what the band is going to sound like. The expectation is melodic power metal, which is exactly what Charred Walls of the Damned provide on their self titled debut album. This is a 2010 release, but it might as well have been recorded in the '80s
