Astral Doors - Worship Or Die

The 9th studio album. Since their debut "Of the Son and the Father" in 2003, the band from Swedish Borlänge has successfully cultivated their very own form of "Retro", based on the musical success of legends such as Rainbow, Dio or Black Sabbath, combined with elements of modern heavy metal. A concept that has brought the band repeated chart successes in Europe and Japan to this day. "Worship or Die" is the band's most melodic album since "New Revelation" (2007), yet one of the hardest in the Astral Doors catalogue. The riffs were and are the foundation of the six Swedes, but this time more space was given to the melodic elements. In their songs the Astral Doors deal with controversial topics of our time like religion, terrorism and the future of all of us. The band proves once more that intelligent lyrics and heavy metal don't have to be contradictory.
