Excellent! 👊🤘🏴☠️Thy for this brillant Diamond 💎 of classic Heavy Metal - it’s this specific style which all the true metal maniacs love and you can and like to/want to hear at least one time a day!! That means a lot! Rock on and keep the flame burning 🔥 All Hail and swords up to the Stronghold ✌️⚔️
45 seconds in and I'm sold. Also, I just want to say a massive thank you to whomever runs this channel - you've introduced me to so much awesome music! Keep it metal, my friends! 🤘🤘🤘
I really dig this band. Great songs and musicians. I can listen to this EP again and again. Fili Bibiano really delivers inspired, well crafted, and technically skilled guitars. Phrasing and articulation remind me of Criss Oliva here and there. I love it.
Perfect guitar tone. Solid riffs. Plus, 2 solos within the first 2 minutes? Yes please! And then the 3rd solo in "Witchcraft"was my favorite one... Great stuff overall!
This EP is a masterpiece. Amazing job guys. Production is stellar as well. Your sound is old school but unique and creative at the same time. Truly excellent well crafted songs! I look forward to more. Everybody keeps saying Maiden this, Maiden that about you guys... maybe all that is true but I've listened to literally thousands of bands that sounded somewhat like Iron Maiden and I've never heard one quite as good as you guys. You not only sound a little like Maiden you really capture that spirit during Maiden's golden years unlike anyone else I've heard. Keep the spirit alive.
This EP fuckin rules!! We need more from this bunch asap! Holy shit this takes me back to the golden age of the 80's and it's rare that a new band can do that...
For anybody that lives in California there is going to be a big show at the Five Star Bar in Los Angeles October 20th. This band Fortress will be playing along with Sector, Evilization, Dismantle, Ruthless, Nightmare, Dread and Iron Angel. Pre-sale tickets are 25 bucks. Doors open at 7pm.
@@rutgerenaliesdejongfrederi9822 That’s your preference but their are better metal bands everything doesn’t revolve round maiden when I seen them last time they where substandard.
Im the original guitarist who helped write this EP and im glad alot of you appreciate the music and the delivery we gave when releasing this. I remember writing these songs with fili (other guitarist) in a garage. Its great to see people love our music that I wrote and fili wrote. Thank you to everyone who supports this. I greatly appreciate it. I never thought that people from around the world would like our music. Thank you all!!

Really digging this. Everything I love about classic metal is here. Fantastic! I'll be keeping an eye on Fortress for sure. Great guitar tone btw.
This is badass!!!! Just what we are looking for..
Did Bruce Dickenson do a side project that I didn't know about!?
This is some legit 80's heavy metal worship!
Metal never die
Best New metal band in years ❤❤❤❤ love it.
Means a lot all these years later. Sincerely.
I Mean it.
A perfect mix between old Priest and Maiden.
Muy buena banda, gracias, metalero, un abrazo.
Love it 😍
Great!!!! Hails from Brazil 🤘🤘
This is that new new wave of traditional heavy metal
For sure, if you guys ever come through Atlanta, lets play a show. My band Völtage is NWOTHM. We are recording our demo right now.
@@dannylerch from Brazil,No Fate is very similar to that.Great musicians.Cheers!
Amazing Chanel
Znakomity heavy metal perfekt rewelacja moc zajebisty ganie na piątkę wspomnienie minionych lat.
I love your channel! thank you from Perú!
Damn this is good. Every song tops the one before it. Awesome!
Where is my beer? Awesome true metal :)
Fuck dude pass me my bong and lets ride a dragon to a nother world to save it from a evil lord
Pretty sure I'm driving my neighbours mad listening to this over and over. Can't wait to hear the album because this is awesome.
I'm addicted to it as well. This and East of Sun by Gatekeeper are the best shit out so far this year.
Some real 80s Maiden vibes here. Good shit \m/
The vocalist sounds like Bruce. Damn it really sounds very much like Maiden.
der deutsche Adler this is 100% Maiden.
Like maiden..... Only much better
Indeed, sounds like a mix of Maiden, Judas Priest and Dio to me.
@@M0useketeer No Heavy Metal is better than Maiden.
@@rutgerenaliesdejongfrederi9822 That’s your preference but their are better metal bands everything doesn’t revolve round maiden when I seen them last time they where substandard.
Nice band !
This is good! Keep it up!!!
Muy buena voz y el sonido está muy ochentero pero súper bien ecualizado.
HELL YEAH
These guys need to start a bandcamp or something!
We are on Spotify, look us up!
They are also on bandcamp! 💪
Pretty sure this LP tore a hole in time and space
sweet!!!!

Muy buenas voz para este hard rock
I'll say it again - this demo kicks ass!!!!
Cool EP
Maiden 2.0 …
Hail from AustriA
great album. it feels like 80s iron maiden. but i liked so much.
Im a new iron maiden fan and I love this shit man
This is rather Maidenish and that’s not a bad thing! :D 🤟🏼
Rock Hard mag rated them a rather low 7,5 although I haven't listened to the whole EP yet. Like you stepped into a time machine and went back to '85.
Holy shit, this EP is 🔥... Wish it was up on Amazon.
Mike Smith it actually is! Just look for "Fortress EP" or "Fortress (song title)"
Iron Blade Found it. Purchased. Stoked.🤙
Very interesting indeed! Thanks for the upload!
Крутая группа!
