Power/Progressive metal band from Russia!

Both CD and digital versions are available on band’s Bandcamp page (http://hammerforce.bandcamp.com/album/access-denied).

Music of “Access Denied” is unconventional mixture of solid guitar riffs, impressive Electro/Trance synths, high-pitched Heavy Metal vocals and sudden Progressive interludes, all performed and recorded at the highest production level.

10/10
““Access Denied” is the real candidate to be the best Metal album of the year. If you like original and fresh Power Metal this release is right for you!”

“Very fresh take on Power Metal. Maybe even a modern Helloween, its that high quality. Very crispy production, amazing riffs, awesome keyboard elements, vocals are catchy. These guys have managed to craft an original and innovative blend of metal genres no one else has really done yet!”
Metal Harem

“My mind automatically thinks Dream Theater. Some amazing synth work as I listen to it is played with as much talent as the guitar work and they compliment each other very well. Vocals are hitting great highs almost reminiscent of Rob Halford style, drums are fast and accurate with a high levels of detail to compliment every note been played by the other instruments.”

“Hammerforce are one of a handful of bands, I can think of, who are breathing fresh life into the power metal genre and if you crave something a little bit different then these guys come highly recommended!”
