CENTURY fly the flag for heavy metal the old way. Hailing from Sweden, this band delivers sharp, fast and unapologetic metal rooted firmly in the classic tradition. That means, for all you kids at the back there, twin guitars, driving rhythms and hooks that hit hard and stay stuck. No gimmicks, no trends, just pure heavy metal played with conviction and fire. With releases that show a clear love for the genre’s foundations, including last year’s amazing "Sign Of The Storm", while keeping things tight and aggressive, Century channel the spirit of the NWOBHM and early speed metal without sounding like a museum piece. Songs are built for impact: galloping riffs, punchy solos and choruses made to be shouted back from the pit. Live, Century are all energy and attack. Fast tempos, fists in the air and a set that never lets up. In April, Barroselas gets a dose of classic heavy metal done right, loud, proud and ready for battle.
