Battleroar
Codex Epicus
"Codex Epicus". The title almost seems predestined for Battleroar, a band, who, since 2000, have become Greeces leading epic classic metal band. Known for creating studio albums packed with majestic riffs, soaring vocals, scorching leads and towering song constructions, Battleroar are never ones to overlook the fine art of larger-thanlife songcraft, something that is all over Codex Epicus, the bands fifth studio foray. The follow-up to 2014s "Blood Of Legends" was recorded at Devasoundz Studios in Athens, Greece and features a guest appearance from Manilla Road guitarist/vocalist Mark Shelton on the song "Sword of the Flame", reprising a role he first took on with "The Wanderer", which appears on 2005s "The Age of Chaos". The albums cover artwork was created by Vagelis Petikas of Revolver Design.
