Today’s review is of American Power Metal band Royal Orphan’s debut self-titled EP.

These 6 tracks show us the concept of this emerging band: an interesting mix of Heavy Metal and Power Metal in the style of Gamma Ray. They have here displayed how capable they are of playing this combination, with decent vocals and drumming and an outstanding bass line together with enjoyable guitar riffs.

Some of these songs are quite good, being enjoyable for any fan of good Rock, although others are pretty average and, while not bad, they aren’t exactly memorable. This EP lies more in the vast majority, but they have some good concepts that could be refined into something surprising. At the moment though, we have been offered 6 tracks that may sound well while you’re doing almost anything to make time pass quicker.

I recommend this to fans of Power Metal and Heavy Metal. My rating is of 8/10.

Riding on the momentum of a well received EP Released in 2018, Royal Orphan is currently working on their first full length release. Their sound has been described as 80s era Queensryche and Somewhere in Time -era Iron Maiden with gutsy aggressive riffs and real-world lyrics within a singer/songwriter approach to traditional heavy metal. Their debut EP was well received by critics both online and in printed publications such as Rock Hard (8 out of 10 rating!!) and Deaf Forever (8.5 out of 10!!!!). Originally intended as a studio only project, the EP was recorded by two longtime friends and metal fans Brendan Kelly on vocals, guitar and bass with drummer Joey Migz. Bass player Dan Kelleher completes Royal Orphan as a trio, which is rare for the genre but makes for a classic powerful sound! The band’s mantra; WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF THE OLD SCHOOL!!!!!
