Dendera are the other band touring with Gloryhammer later this year so I thought I’d give them a spin and see what they were like.
Their debut album, The Killing Floor, came out in May, and the track floating around below is from it. They brand themselves as simply being “heavy metal” and their influences (as ever, check their facefart page) read like a who’s who of metal masters.
Listening to a handful of tracks, I’d say they’ve captured Powerslave-ish-era Maiden. You know, back when they were good. Wailing vocals and a great set of backing musicians. Hell, they even use historical references as a focus for their songs. “Senlac Hill” (link to an article on the history) is a typical example and well worth a listen if you like your metaaaaaaaaaaaaalllll!
