March In Arms is an American band formed in 2012 in Sioux Falls Dakota, United States.

Their music is unique for the combination of the lyrical themes – war, history and patriotism – which are specific for the genre – Power Metal.

Their latest album, ‘Pulse of the Daring’ was released on December 4th 2020. For almost fifty minutes, they attract you into a world of power and force.

Metal undertones and classic influences that subtly remind you of Metallica define March In Arms’s original style with epic riffs and strong vocals.

The first song I listened to was ‘Welcome the Blitz’. It begins with a guitar solo, followed by powerful drums, bass and, last but not least, Ryan Knutson’s voice. The official video has a historic introduction to the universe of the song, made by one of the members.

The rhythm of the album is generally fast and the instrumental is loud – it makes me feel empowered and it makes me find motivation for the rest of the day.

The timbre of the vocalist is honest, real and determined, ready to sing a story to remember. And the lyrics speak not only of the rough reality, the mistakes that have been made, but also about peace and courage.

On a personal note, I love the great mix of sounds, impressive lyrics and strong, sincere vocals.

Take your headphones and give them a try, you sure won’t regret it! I’ll write down the links so you can check it.

Band’s members:

Jon Parker & Sheldon Swan – guitars
Phil Mueller – drums
Scott McGuire – bass
Ryan Knutson – vocals.
