My latest 2017 release is "Lightning Strikes the Crown" by IRONFLAME. This began as a one-man solo project inspired by "the untimely passing of a good friend". However, reaction was so positive that a record deal with Divebomb Records, a CD re-release with two new tracks, and a full touring band were the result.
Kit at True Metal Lives gave "Lightning Strikes the Crown" an 8.5/10 rating and wrote:
I've linked to a sample IRONFLAME song, and their entire 2017 album, in the first post of this thread.
P.S. As Kit notes in his review, there are two versions of this album in existence. The original independent release had eight tracks and a 40 minute runtime. The Divebomb Records version is ten tracks and 50 minutes. The CD I bought from Amazon is the full version. But if you're buying from, e.g., eBay you'll want to verify which version you're getting.

It is a testament to the man's talent, skill and impeccable attention to detail that you'd never know from listening to this album that it's just one guy. The songwriting is remarkably well developed, the performances are top-notch, and the production values are quite strong throughout. Lightning Strikes the Crown clocks in at 10 songs and 50 minutes of inspired, high-energy melodic heavy metal glory, laden with killer compositions, cool riffs, stellar vocals, and well-crafted hooks that will embed themselves in your cranium and never let go.
