Description:
"Wasteland", the bandâ??s first full-length studio album, was originally released in 2009 but it took a
further six long years until the second Metalian record "Metal Fire And Ice" was finally unleashed in
2015. Now 'Vortex", Metalianâ??s third longplay album, hits the record store shelves. If you
like Judas Priest, then youâ??ll like Metallian. -
"Vortex" is a high-octane heavy metal CD by Canadian band Metalian, released through renowned underground label High Roller Records. The album unleashes a whirlwind of twin-guitar attacks, galloping riffs and soaring, melodic vocals that clearly echo the spirit of classic 1980s heavy metal while sounding raw, fresh and energetic. Across its tracks, "Vortex" delivers tightly written songs, memorable choruses and breakneck tempos that will appeal to fans of traditional metal, speed metal and early power metal. The production emphasizes organic, live-in-the-room energy, allowing the guitars and drums to punch through with clarity and intensity, while the catchy vocal lines anchor every track with a strong sense of melody. This CD edition from High Roller Records is aimed at collectors and genre devotees, offering the album in a dedicated physical format for those who want to enjoy "Vortex" beyond digital streaming.
Metalian have built a reputation in the international underground as one of the most consistent torchbearers of traditional heavy metal. Known for their tireless touring and electric live shows, the band have steadily expanded their fan base across Europe and North America. Their earlier releases and EPs helped establish a distinct identity rooted in speed, NWOBHM influences and a no-compromise attitude to heavy metal, which "Vortex" further refines with stronger songwriting and even more focused performances. Over the years, Metalian have become a reference name for listeners seeking authentic, old-school metal played with passion rather than trend-chasing polish, and this album stands as a key entry point into their discography.
