Dragon’s Kiss is a heavy metal band known for
their no-nonsense, full-throttle approach to speed metal and rock’n’roll.
Formed in Portugal, the band gained a dedicated following after the release of
their 2014 debut, “Barbarians Of The Wasteland.” Their music leans heavily into
the fast, raw energy of early metal and punk-infused speed metal, paying
tribute to classic metal heroes while staying grounded in straightforward
songwriting and pure aggression. The band includes two lead vocalists—Tiago “Bastard”
Teixeira and Adam “Rock’n’roll Outlaw” Neal—backed by the
twin-guitar attack of Hugo “Rattlesnake” Conim and Dário “Tornado”
Granadeiro, with António “Thunder” Seixas on bass and Marco “Pain” Dores on drums.
“The Return Of
The Wild Dogs” is exactly what the title promises—loud, furious, and straight
to the point. Dragon’s Kiss wastes no time getting
down to business. The guitars bring a punkish, rock’n’roll swagger, cutting
through with dirty, energetic riffs that lean more on attitude than speed.
There’s a rough-edged looseness to the sound, giving the songs a barroom brawl
kind of feel—less about precision, more about impact.
The vocals are riffraff, with a street-punk flavor and shouts in a way that keeps the momentum alive. The drums hit hard and steady, driving the songs forward with confidence and grit. It’s the kind of rhythm section that sounds built for denim, leather, and fists in the air.
Everything about the album feels alive and loud. The
six tracks—like “Seekers Of The Night,” “Road Warrior,” and “Wild Dogs Revenge”—carry
the same fired-up spirit from start to finish. There’s no drag, no detour, and
no filler. Just six slabs of heavy metal rock’n’roll that sound like they were
made to blow out speakers and get heads banging.
The sound stays rough and loud without getting messy. Everything feels live and in your face, unfiltered and intense, capturing the energy straight from the source. Dragon’s Kiss aims to hit hard, and they do. For fans of Motörhead and Tank, “The Return Of The Wild Dogs” will hit the spot. It’s an honest, wild album that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is: loud, fast, and ready to smash its way into the metal underground.
Score: 7.0
