One of the best newer bands I've heard recently. Addictive old school US Heavy Metal from Salt Lake City.
Steel and Fire Records are releasing their two demos on one tape later this month and are taking pre-orders now at

The tracks can be heard here:

Sound like they should be playing together with Steel Panther.

I realise it's a tad harsh but the vocals and melodies seem pretty college party radio-friendly, more than what I'd associate with a description like "old school US Metal"...

Fair enough - that was a lazy description from me undoubtedly but I'm a lazy fucker.
However, I do remember a lot of Metal that sounds like this coming from the States back in the 80s.
Anyway it's irrelevant. The music is great and I'm loving it, and that's what matters

Damn, I was hoping for a CD release
Visigoth is pretty great, but even if they were inspired by old school metal, I do not consider Visigoth old school metal.

Some nice releases in that series. The Demon Bitch and Graven Rite demos are excellent too.
Anything else lined up for it?

VISIGOTH is a young US band formed in 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Claiming influences from Dio, Omen, Twisted Tower Dire and Atlantean Kodex, they have raised quite an interest in the metal community with their traditional, epic-tinged, no-frills heavy metal.
Since “Final Spell” was released so far only in digital and on cassette, Sarlacc Productions and Cruz Del Sur Music felt that VISIGOTH’s music needed a more suitable format – wax!
Complete with an enhanced, specific for vinyls sound, insert with lyrics and a new layout created by Paul McCarroll/Unhinged Art (Primordial, Scald etc.), the “Final Spell” vinyl will be limited to 500 copies only, the first 150 in coloured-vinyl.
The official release date is set for mid April 2013.
“No matter what genre of metal you tend to favour, there is nothing greater than pure unadulterated adrenaline pumping heavy metal performed the way the masters intended it, and this is exactly the way they envisioned it. “ (Dream Void Dreams blog)
