Album:
I’m pleased to say that Kayle is the star of the show this time around. Brought to life through the vocals of Battle Beast singer Noora Louhimo, she adds an extra oomph to a number of tracks on Pentakill III: Lost Chapter.Namely, anthem Gathering Storm, penultimate track Redemption, an upbeat, bassy and funky number which boasts some beautiful guitar licks in the intro and a style that reminds me more of AC/DC than heavier metal, and finally, the stand-out song: Stormrazor.“We’ll take up arms, we’ll make amends here,” Noora cries during the chorus. “Where they bring death we must remain: Defiant. Relive the pain and turn it on them, ’cause we must live up to our name.”Her vocals on Stormrazor are just incredible. Kayle’s growl at the start sets the pace for the rest of the song; her scream that bridges the first chorus into a shredding solo supported by rapid-fire drum beats will melt the skin off your face. And the choir-like background vocals, blistering second solo and chugging guitar riff outro make this track my personal favourite from the album – and one of Pentakill’s best to date.This is to take nothing away from Pentakill’s main vocalist Jørn Lande, voicing Karthus, or the other contributors and musicians involved this latest album. That trademark Pentakill feel is here right from the off, with impressive opening title track Lost Chapter, and there are a few new twists which I admire.Edge of Night is a slower-paced anthemic number featuring new Pentakill band member Viego, which I’ve no doubt will pull in the poppier music fans out there, and the acoustic version of Lightbringer, the first track from Pentakill’s debut album, is sublime. Executioner’s Calling is an experimental prog rock-style track with a nice chorus, but it fades out far too quickly – I wanted a ten-minute epic damnit!“Noora Louhimo’s vocals on Stormrazor are just incredible. Her growl at the start sets the pace for the rest of the song; her scream that bridges the first chorus into a shredding solo with rapid-fire drum beats will melt the skin off your face.”Lost Chapter isn’t perfect. There are some more forgettable songs, like Conqueror and Aftershock, and the record is a bit up and down, a bit hit and miss at times. I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of the new Lost Chapter Pentakill skins and the addition of Viego, I prefer the original skins, but to each their own.Anyway, back to the music. Is this better than debut album Smite and Ignite and second album Grasp of the Undying? It’s hard to say. I’d probably place them all equally. For me, Pentakill’s best is yet to come.I would like to see more experimentation in the future, why not bring in a few guest League of Legends champions to add a mix of genres? Vi could contribute to a more punk rock song, Amumu could get involved with an emo track, Kindred and her wolf could give us some death metal, for example.Get well-known musicians to contribute, aim high, get us a James Hetfield, a Dave Mustaine, a Slash!However, for an album that is completely free, which adds to the constantly evolving world of Runeterra and gives us all more League of Legends fan service, I can’t complain. This is another good addition to Pentakill’s growing repertoire of music, and I know they are capable of delivering an outstanding one in the future.

Album:
We know a lot of you metalheads are pretty big gamers and that’s what makes Pentakill so unique. Pentakill was formed as a full-fledged band derived from the popular League of Legends video game, with band members assuming skins of players in the game with contributions from actual metal musicians. Three years after releasing the Smite & Ignite EP, the group has returned with two new songs off their forthcoming album, Pentakill II: Grasp of the Undying.“The Bloodthirster” (above) and “Tear of the Goddess” (below) are the first offerings taken from the new record, clueing fans in as to what they can expect from the full disc. Former Masterplan singer Jørn Lande takes the lead on “The Bloodthirster,” a thumping power metal track that punches through with beefy rhythms, countered by cinematic synth-charged moments.As for “Tear of the Goddess,” it takes on a less sinister mood, perfectly set up for Battle Beast frontwoman Noora Louhimo and her whimsical set of pipes. The song drops out to a clanky bass, light percussion and delicate piano work as her voice gently guides the track forward. Heavier elements begin introducing themselves as the song continues, reaching an explosive chorus where it all comes together.The overwhelming response to Pentakill was instant after the band released their debut EP, which cracked Billboard’s Top 40 and debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Metal and Rock charts.
