First review of ArcticFlame at KIT VII...."A band I was expecting a lot more from was up next : New Jersey’s ARCTIC FLAME . They had released their debut full-length CD Primeval Aggressor earlier in the year (through Battle Cry Records) and I was totally impressed by it. Excellent pure U.S. metal all the way! It was quite a surprise to find out that ARCTIC FLAME appeared as a quartet on this occasion, as guitarist Rod Mariani was nowhere to be spotted. Due to problems getting out of the country, I believe. Furthermore the line-up included a new bassist; a very young one, by the looks of it … The band kicked off with five tunes off their debut : Steel Angels, Misery’s Mystery, Spark Of Ire, The Levellers Wish and Green Lady (Of The Hill). The new bassist soon turned out to be both excellent and energetic, and the entire band convinced as far as musical skills are concerned. Although I must add that the presence of a second guitarist would undoubtedly have made the band’s performance even more complete and powerful. Relentless was the only new song performed today, before ARCTIC FLAME’s 40’ set came to and end with Battle Of Heaven And Hell. Thus concluding an overall convincing European debut performance. And I know for sure that this band can do even better. As such I’m already looking forward to their performance at next year’s Swordbrothers 5 festival. Hopefully the band will perform as a quintet on that occasion." Some other excerpts...."ONSLAUGHT’s 53’ set sure was energetic, but personally I enjoyed the likes of ARCTIC FLAME and WOLF more. Just a matter of opinion,..." and finally, "Definitely my personal highlight (Heir Apparent) of this edition, followed by WOLF and ARCTIC FLAME.
