War Gods of the Deep is an American rock band hailing from Chicago. They are known for their distinctive blend of retro-hard rock and metal with influences from fantasy literature and comics. Formed in 2016, the band has released several EPs, a full-length album, and singles, garnering attention for their unique sound and thematic approach..[1]
History
[edit]Formed in Chicago, War Gods of the Deep entered the music scene with their debut EP, Monsters, Magic & Mayhem, released in 2016. This EP showcased the band's penchant for epic storytelling and musical craftsmanship, earning them a dedicated fan base within the heavy metal community[2]. Their music pays homage to the golden era of hard rock and metal, incorporating themes from fantasy literature and comics.
Musical Style
[edit]Thunderous riffs, dynamic rhythms, and soaring melodies characterize War Gods of the Deep's music. It draws inspiration from classic heavy metal bands such as KISS, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, and Queen[3].
Release and Reception
[edit]After its initial release in 2019, 'Action Space Battle' was reissued as a fan club edition, serving as an homage to the classic rock era. The album encapsulates the spirit of rock from the late seventies. The band describes it as a love letter to the rock world of their upbringing, with artwork reminiscent of colorful comic book superheroes. They emphasize the importance of the album's running order, likening it to a concept album that tells a story through its tracks. Despite its nostalgia, the album is noted for its contemporary relevance, encouraging listeners to engage with it as a cohesive piece of music reminiscent of the full album experiences of the past. "The overall sound image is very distinctive of classic rock with heavy guitars, grandiose choruses ... and fans of heavy rock where Zakk Wylde could easily have played the spade, will not be disappointed.[4]"
Action Space Battle has been described as "delightful and inspiring work" in Rock Hard Magazine [5]
Future Plans
[edit]War Gods of the Deep has announced plans to release a series of singles, compile them into an EP, and eventually release a full album by the end of 2024. The band remains dedicated to producing fresh and exciting music while staying true to their roots.[4]
