The legendary Swedish band DESTINY has been around the Metalscene since 1982, and during that long period they released 5 albums. It’s remarkable to see they never changed their musical style, which has always been (and still is) pure 1980s US Melodic Power Metal with high pitched vocals. It took them 6 years however to release a new CD, because their previous album ‘The undiscovered country’ dates back to 1998. Now there’s the release of their 5th CD ‘Future of the past’, and again we can enjoy typical DESTINY 80s orientated Melodic US Metal, with as highlights of the 9 included songs, “Sabotage”, “In the shadow of the rainbow”, “Flying Dutchman” (with SHIVA lead singer Helena Johansson on backing vocals) and “Future of the past”. Fans of HESLTAR, ANVIL, LIZZY BORDEN, VICIOUS RUMORS, old FATES WARNING etc. must check out this new DESTINY CD release. More info at: http://www.gmrmusic.se
