Powerslave

Galloping rhythms. A theatrical sense of scale.

For a different kind of metal momentum, trade the clipped thrash attack for a galloping pulse and guitar lines that open out into melody. This is the heavy-metal branch of the sample archive: big arrangements without losing the push of a band playing together.
