Never Regret album cover  ‘Time has come, I am on the way. I am the hunter and you are the prey!‘, sing the Israel metalheads DESERT in the beginning of their latest album filled with epic metal hymns – “Never Regret“. I’ve only listened to the band once or twice, but they totally blew me into the fanzone with this album. “Never Regret“ is an epic dark metal masterpiece which wins you right from the intro “Chasing The Prey“ and the opening single “Assassin’s Fate“, which you can hear right here.

 The band manages to keep your attention while you’re listening to the album. But while I listen to the album, I can’t keep myself from intensive headbanging and doing sing-alongs to the band’s epic metal hymns in this album. The whole album contains songs, which have the full potential to become epic live hymns for the fans to sing along and raise their hands in the air.

 Time to take a rest with the gentle “The Road To You“, which features a guest appearance by the lady Infy. After we’ve gathered our strenght back, it’s time to rock again with the band’s epic vocals, followed by some epic riffs and melodic guitar solos. The next song is “1812“ which also features a guest appearance. This time by Ralf Scheepers(PRIMAL FEAR, ex-GAMMA RAY). The song is a powerfull duet which gives you a unique feeling and brings a breathtaking atmosphere.

 With the remaining songs the band again shows us what they’re made of and yet again they manage to keep the listener interested. With the end of the last song “Invicible“ we are left with a craving. We crave for more kickass metal compositions from the guys and we hope that we’ll see them in Bulgaria.

 “Never Regret“ is a breathtaking combinaton between epic vocals, some kickass guitar riffs and melodic solos, which creates some awesome hymns, which will stand the test of time and will make you headbang, jump and sing along with the band, whether you’re a fan or you’ve just found about them.
