The Italian heavy metal band <a href="spotify:artist:5izojMQQmFqRKeW6Y3RaVA" data-name="SpellBlast">SpellBlast</a> was born in 1999 but the first relevant work released in 2006 by Fuel Records is the full lenght "<a href="spotify:album:77S6c9jQY8IGDEpdqLq804" data-name="Horns Of Silence">Horns Of Silence</a>". The album is made up of nine songs with a purely power metal sound, slightly pervaded of folk influences; lyrics draw ispiration from Tolkien/ Fantasy themes.
Special guest: Damnagoras, Elvenking's singer.

Sounds change with the second full lenght "Battlecry" released in 2010: its twelve songs are indeed more folk-power oriented, while lyrics are based on ancient Norse mythology and divinities. This time Spellblast can rely on another special guest at the voice: Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of Fire, Vision Divine).

The third album, "Nineteen" comes out in the beginning of 2014: a concept album based on Stephen King's masterpiece "The Dark Tower". The album consists of thirteen tracks where the folk sound of the band evolves in a kind of western direction.

The sound of the band evolved album by album, from a classic power metal with folk influences to the tunes of their new work "<a href="spotify:album:7rUdvOBxb2LW7qUAjl5aEM" data-name="Of Gold and Guns">Of Gold and Guns</a>" an old west themed heavy metal influenced by Ennio Morricone's great soundtracks.

Of Gold and Guns is a 9 track concept album based on the legendary characters that lived in America during the second half of the nineteenth century, plus a very special mention to their contemporary fearless hero icon <a href="spotify:track:0rDF69EQOuDYn5B8roTb2Y" data-name="Tex Willer">Tex Willer</a>.

SpellBlast's powerful sound allowed the band to gain a place in the italian metal scene without losing its identity.
