Grave Reign: “Icon of the accursed” Digital and CD 10th July 2026 FireRock Music Group. USA Heavy Metal band.
The duet David Shankle (Manowar, David Shankle Group, Wings of Destiny) and Tony Engel (Altered State of Consciousness, Veilside, Honor Amongst Thieves, Blockchain Coalition) , have come back with a second album.
As every band, the line up went through changes. But the main composer and former bands are here to bring another piece of great heavy metal power.
A dark yet, powerful cover artwork. a fighter against the world.
Have a taste:
Influences: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Dokken, Manowar, Firewind, Deathrider, Vicious Rumours, Ozzy Osbourne, and many more.
Twelve tracks with one theme, the human tragedies. Speaking parts, police news samples. The inimitable solos that describes David pretty well. Powerful vocals from Tony. Pounding drums from Michael Ray, Mick Lucid on bass blasting the machine.
An album that will kick the world for long. David shankle has found the right band with Tony Engel. I must admit with all the projects David played in, I wasn’t expecting another album from Grave Reign. I was wrong and I’m pleased they kept that band as it is a secure masterpiece.
You can expect a long blasting powerful discography coming. A masterpiece to own without thinking.
A must-have 100/100.
