Since their auspicious birth in 2018, there’s been no stopping
Switzerland’s MEGATON SWORD. As if their very moniker was a prescient stroke of
genius – or, rather, a self-fulfilling prophecy – the once-quartet arrived
fully formed with their glorious debut EP, Niralet, in 2019 via DYING VICTIMS.
Here, virtually without warning, they evinced an ages-old sound that was wise
(and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON SWORD knew the
mystery of steel…and wielded it with a startling confidence. Which made their
debut album the next year, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, all the more
shocking: MEGATON SWORD somehow revealed new twists to that mystery of steel,
and further evinced a charisma that was star-power writ large. Again released
by DYING VICTIMS, it was no shock that Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire was
hailed far and wide. And yet still, it seemed MEGATON SWORD were only getting
started…
And they’re not finished – not by a long shot – as testified by their
second album, Might & Power. Almost absurdly titled in its elegant
simplicity, Might & Power might seem on the surface a reiteration of their
true-as-steel HEAVY METAL, and to a large degree, that’s correct – MEGATON
SWORD are still drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and
valor, triumph and tragedy – but the deceptively expansive album sees the
now-quintet stretching their sturdy sound in directions more dynamic and
extreme. When was the last time you heard actual blastbeats on a true-metal
album? Well, you’ll certainly find ‘em here on Might & Power and probably not
bat an eyelash, for MEGATON SWORD wield all their weapons effortlessly. What
about ‘70s singer-songwriter melodrama, plaintive piano and all? Same here:
while far more subtle, the integration of softer, rock-oriented textures makes
their metal all the more enduring – and exciting. For if there’s one guiding
theme that earmarks Might & Power as MEGATON SWORD’s arguably greatest
recording, it’s that the drama is windswept but undeniably human, in all its
myriad hues; this may be heavy metal after all, but it’s not “only heavy
metal.” Put another way, MEGATON SWORD so deeply understand that mystery of
steel that they know when to sheath their (sonic) swords and offer a weathered
hand, gently raising up their fallen comrades. Much credit goes to vocalist Uzzy
Unchained, whose pipes poignantly narrate this evocative shift.
With no hyperbole intended, MEGATON SWORD are no longer on the march.
They have truly reached the halls of greatness with Might & Power. Hearing
is believing, but it just might bring you to tears.
