The Revenant King

The undisputed kings of the mythical Salt Lake City power metal scene, Visigoth hold true to the genre's myriad tropes (fist-pumping riffs and soaring choruses populated with references to usurped kings, necromancers, and non-specific prophecies), but are so effective at delivering the chainmail that the Utah outfit's Metal Blade debut may as well have arrived via a studded leather-adorned time capsule from 1982.
