Over the last couple of years, Greyhawk have truly developed into an outstanding heavy metal band. With each release, the band has shown clear growth and a steadily sharpening musical identity. The Warriors of Greyhawk should have been the album that firmly cemented their position—and technically, it still does. This is a flawless record: beautifully crafted, packed with catchy songs, and bursting with energy.
What momentarily halted Greyhawk’s momentum was a change in the vocal department. Rev Taylor departed to focus fully on his operatic career, and Anthony Corso stepped in as his replacement. Corso proves to be an ideal fit, bringing a strong melodic edge to the band. His performance on this album is absolutely superb, leaving no doubt that he is the right man for the job. With him at the helm, Greyhawk are poised to soar to new heights.
The Warriors of Greyhawk excels from start to finish. There’s no learning curve here—just press play and let it flow. The album delivers a solid blend of traditional and power metal, driven by confident, adventurous songwriting. Rather than relying on excess, the band focuses on feel and skilled execution. Big chords, powerful hooks, and infectious sing-along choruses make it clear that Greyhawk are ready for any battle ahead.
With The Warriors of Greyhawk, the band has clearly struck the right chord. The album showcases a tight, talented instrumental unit paired with a commanding and capable frontman. Its diverse songwriting makes for a highly engaging listen—one that invites repeated exploration. Few modern heavy metal albums achieve such a strong balance of material. While Greyhawk are technically re-establishing themselves with a new vocalist, this release represents a massive step forward in nearly every aspect. Excellent from beginning to end.
