| “If you like ’70s and ’80s heavy metal and early thrash but don’t want a band just ripping off the past greats, there’s a lot of enjoyment to be found on Heavy Is the Head.” – The Metal Crypt “A fresh and hot melting pot of styles and vibes to deliver a tasty main metal course. A pivotal point in the band’s artistic endeavour.” – The NOWTHM “Solid heavy metal that celebrates a mix of 70s hard rock and 80s heavy metal and skillfully fused into one unit.” – Metal Only “A successful, colorfully mixed album, which doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but which fans of 70’s/80’s colored Metal should have a lot of fun with.” – Hellfire Magazin |
Though they are proudly part of what’s now called the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal, CHILDREN OF THE REPTILE aren’t simply aping styles from the 70s and 80s. Taking a page out of the book of Manilla Road and calling themselves “American Epic Heavy Metal,” these four travellers have been crushing the Southeast United States for over a decade now.
If you want the riffs of Metallica, the twin leads of Thin Lizzy or Iron Maiden, the attitude of Judas Priest, the progressive leanings of Mastodon, and the vibes of Manilla Road, then you must check out the best kept secret from the swamps of the Cape Fear: CHILDREN OF THE REPTILE.
