White Skull – Under This Flag (2012)

Fourteen years ago, White Skull released Public Glory, Secret Agony, an album themed loosely on Rome at the time of Julius Caesar, getting high marks from my colleague Chris. It was during a different phase of the site’s existence, so short, snap-judgment reviews were the site’s style back then, but I have to agree with him after all this time that that was a special album

— I still listen to it from time to time. Which made it only sadder when, after that album was released, the Italian power metal group lost vocalist Federica de Boni, replaced her with a male singer, and subsequently released a series of forgettable, mediocre albums. However, with 2012’s Under This Flag, we see de Boni’s return, and a commensurate increase in quality. This isn’t quite as good as Public Glory, Secret Agony — but it’s close…
