Swedish Christian metal band called MIRADOR and their debut album named The Azrael Tales shows wonderful and great epic heavy metal with strong Scandinavian roots. The band was really active in the 90's but never released an album so it is with great joy we see the release of THE AZRAEL TALES.
You can hear musical elements from bands like VENI DOMINE, CANDLEMASS, QUEENSRYCHE & BLACK SABBATH. The production is great and it creates a mysterious and adventures atmosphere for the listener.
Jakob Forsberg´s voice is working perfect together with Erik Mjörnell´s heavy guitars mixed with great choir arrangements.
The Azrael Tales is one of the great jewels we had found during 2005 when we were looking for great new metal music.
