Cauldron Born: Born of the Cauldron
Cauldron Born is sword-and-sorcery brought to heavy metal life. Band members Howie Bentley and Matthew Knight are not just talented musicians (the latter is also the band's new lead singer) but also published S&S authors, well versed in the sacred genre. After hearing them speak on recent podcast interviews and YouTube videos I figured some of their music was in order.

I think you'll appreciate this quote from Howie Bentley: “I think sword-and-sorcery, horror, the occult, and fantasy in general is a defining factor in heavy metal. Heavy metal goes beyond music, it is about a state of mind. I often mention that Robert E. Howard was writing heavy metal almost fifty years before the first Black Sabbath album was recorded. He was just expressing this aesthetic through literature instead of music.”
I couldn't agree more.
Take my virtual high-five (and Bentley too). Heavy metal is absolutely the music of the fantastic.
