Immortalizer: Singles from the upcoming album
We listened to Immortalizer's singles. Tracks with punch and a metal character. All the singles have every element of Heavy Metal. We're stepping onto Heavy Metal paths. Or more accurately, it's Dave D. R. and Immortalizer who put us on these paths.

We're stepping onto Heavy Metal paths. Or more accurately, it's Dave D. R. and the Immortalizer. The band's new single tracks promise us endless Headbanging!
A few words about the artist
O Dave D.R. is a multi-instrumentalist artist and performer from Ontario, Canada. As a kid he was deeply inspired by the pioneers of Heavy Metal and Rock like Motorhead, Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Dio, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Primal Fear, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Van Halen, Thin Lizzy, Megadeth, Metallica, Whitesnake, Deep Purple and KISS (to name just a few), and he started out as a drummer while also learning to sing and play guitar, bass and keyboards.
In 2016 he released his debut EP on CD & 7″ vinyl and on social media in 2020, that same year he started collaborating with the legendary metal singer Ralf Scheepers of Primal Fear to further develop his vocal skills.
Right now he's writing and recording his first full-length album, while he's already put out 3 songs from his new project titled Immortalizer, each of which gives off a different energy. As you'll notice yourselves once you hear these 3 tracks, he's always striving for the best, so as to create new and exciting music, and with Immortalizer he wanted to create something original, but with a vintage feel to it. His goal, of course, isn't to copy what's already been done, but to contribute something fresh and fun, and the truth is he pulls it off with this first sample he's giving us.
The singles he presented
The beginning of the Immortalizer is where it delivers, the song called "Gone To Hell". A song that's drenched in rock n roll and heavy metal, and the mix that's been achieved is crafted from a really interesting angle on these particular genres. Dave knows exactly what he's doing and he wins you over throughout the whole track. Sharp and savage guitar riffs come at you and intertwine with solos that express melodicism, giving this creation a sweet touch. An interesting rhythm that sticks in your head!
Along the same musical lines, the song "I’m Gone" moves too. Here Immortalizer presents us again with that same interesting musical style, only this time there's a small dose of darkness to be found as well. There are spots a bit darker than the previous song, and the riffs and solos combined with this particular atmosphere present a beautiful musical result that you might just love even more. Personally it won me over and I played it on loop quite a few times.
As for the third and final song that Dave presented us with under the Immortalizer Immortalizerproject, allow me to call it my favourite. Not just for the music it puts out, but also for the title and the concept surrounding the track. So this track goes by the name "Lemmy" and it's in honour of the legend Lemmy Kilmister. The truth is it differs from the rest and leans a bit towards Motorhead, but Dave has managed to make it his own and serve it up to us on a plate through a distinctive angle brimming with deep, powerful bass, fast and dynamic riffs and elements that make rock n roll more heavy metal than ever, and it makes you thoroughly savour it!
In conclusion
Overall, Dave's project titled Immortalizerhas released three excellent tracks, which win you over, fill you up, and make you headbang to their rhythms the whole way through. Awesome work that leaves us eagerly waiting to hear something fully-fledged from this project!
