Cryonic Temple's first album CHAPTER 1 won me over with its undemanding but enjoyable power metal, and this follow-ups pretty much does the same. Of course, it's all nothing new, and has all the cheesiness of fighting with swords, swords everywhere, the vocalist is called Glen Metal (who, it must be said, is excellent), and the drummer is Gert Steelheart. But with its galloping, Iron Maiden-style rhythms and catchy choruses, Blood, Guts & Glory is a winner, highlights including "The Triumph Of Steel" and "The Midas Touch (Samurai) - The Quest Pt III".
