Kodama – Set in Stone
Genre: Metal
Release Date: 23rd April 2020
Combining classic metal with a more modern tech groove St Albans metallers Kodama show just how effective updating an age old sound for the modern era can be.
Around twenty seconds into ‘Set In Stone’ that lead line kicks in which evokes both Judas Priest and Metallica but instead of simply paying homage Kodama take this in their own direction by pushing things just a little further. By adding in a huge bouncing bridge section which reverberates around your headphones the band takes the energy up to another level.
This track is well worth the time of any metal fan and is another reminder of how vibrant and alive the genre can still be.
