Reign of Glory – “All Will Bow”

Reign of Glory was born in 2021 when bassist Roger Dale Martin (Vengeance Rising, Once Dead, Die Happy) and guitarist Nick Layton (FireWolfe, Q5) partnered up writing material for a classic metal album with a message of hope and faith in these trying times. They had just released Roxology, a metal instrumental album of hymns, earlier in the year and were eager to do something with a full band replete with singer. Through a happenstance Die Happy reunion interview on Sanctuary International, they got in contact with vocalist Robyn Kyle Basuari (Die Happy, Red Sea). To round out the band in the rhythm seat is Jim Chaffin (The Crucified, Deliverance, The Blamed).

All Will Bow is a solid album that gives a nod to the 80s with a modern execution. The ten songs on the album provide enough variety for this reviewer to enjoy without being bored. The core of RoG’s sound is a solid rhythm section, melodic guitars, and a quite capable vocalist singing on top.

First thing I liked about the album is the musical variety. “Forever and Ever” starts out with a somewhat thrash metal riff that sounded close to Megadeth’s “High Speed Dirt.” But once the drums and bass come in, it calms down a bit, but still quite metal. “Welcome to Reality” is a mid-tempo grooving rock tune that kept my foot tapping. “Samson’s Kryptonite” had RoG move into a bluesy southern rock territory and we have the requisite ballad in “Love Came to Die.” And that was just the first half of the album.

The idea for Reign Of Glory started after Roger Dale Martin and Nick Layton released their instrumental album “Roxology” in early 2021. As powerful and well received as “Roxology” was and is, Roger and Nick knew they could reach even more people with a great vocalist onboard and a new album of classic hard rock/metal tunes with a message of hope and faith in these troubling times.

Nick started writing songs while the search for a vocalist began. The music was turning out melodic but heavy, groovy in places with hints of bands like Whitesnake, Queensryche, TNT, Dokken, Rainbow, Dio and Symphony X, so the right vocalist was required to pull off the style convincingly. But who?

Roger and Nick had discussed a singer named Robyn Basauri who sang on a record Roger was involved with in 1992 called Die Happy, as well as fronting the classic Red Sea. Robyn was the kind of vocalist who’s style would fit the new music perfectly but there was a problem—no one knew how to get in touch with him. A few attempts were made to get Robyn’s contact info but nothing panned out and the feeling was that it was too much of a long shot and the idea was quickly scrapped. But then something very interesting happened.
