Huh, new Persuader.

I'm getting more Blind Guardian vibes then I remember.

Yeah, I definitely hear a Blind Guardian vibe.

They always had it but this is almost too much.

It's funny because I used to count Blind Guardian among my favorite bands but they took a left turn into "Prog Land" with "Twist" and totally lost me.  Those Persuader clips don't seem nearly as proggy as the latest BG output but it still sounds enough like BG to put me off.
