Denverâs Siege Perilous invites you to embark on an epic musical odyssey with their freshly released second EP âCreationâs Callâ. A culmination of years of storytelling and musical craftsmanship, the EP will immerse power metal fans in a world of adventure and intrigue. Vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel comments
âOur goal with âCreationâs Callâ is to present fans with an opportunity to escape the modern world and join us in the worlds of history and fantasy. For the more technically inclined, we have tight, complex arrangements and shredding solos that show off how incredibly talented my bandmates are and how fortunate I am to work with them. I like to think of this EP as a sampler platter of lyrical themes, musical ideas, and narrative storytelling that highlights what we are about in a very diverse array of 5 tracks.â
With each soaring guitar solo and thunderous drumbeat, Siege Perilous invites fans to delve deeper into the realms of their imagination, where epic battles and ancient prophecies unfold. From the thunderous opening chords of âOathswornâ to the triumphant crescendo of âBrothers of the Fiveâ, the EP takes listeners on a journey through realms both ancient and mythical.
Drawing inspiration from LARP, historical events, and fantasy literature, Siege Perilous crafts a cinematic landscape that resonates with fans across the spectrum of metal and fantasy fandoms. They are highly recommended for fans of Alestorm, Manowar, and Iron Maiden.

“It gives me great pleasure to tell you that Creationâs Call is a blast. Siege Perilous has succeeded in creating what I would call Epic Power Metal for the Working Man. They donât waste your time with overlong symphonic interludes between tracks, melodramatic narration, or overproduction that tests the limits of your sanity. The band gets right to the point and pulls you into their epic tales of heroic daring immediately. This is a nice breath of fresh air and if this EP is anything to go by, Siege Perilous has a great future ahead of them. Yes, this could be considered power metal but the no-nonsense approach and urgency to the songwriting makes this release absolutely worth checking out for those of us in the NWOTHM scene. Plus, itâs really just a lot of fun. This one is highly recommended. THENWOTHM SCORE: 9/10” – The NWOTHM
“âCreationâs Callâ never gets boring, even on Heavy Rotation. Five gifted musicians have succeeded in creating a varied EP. The twin guitar solos are convincing the whole time. Itâs just a shame that it ends after twenty-one minutes. It makes you wish for a full-length album. And, of course, a thrilling live performance. 9.3/10” – Metalheads Forever Magazineâ
â
â“solid power metal style that should satiate any LARP-attendees or Dungeons and Dragons mavens. Keep an eye on this quintet â wield thy sword as they lead the battle charge for more quality power metal from the states. 8/10” – Dead Rhetoricâ
â
â“Creationâs Call not only highlights Siege Perilousâ dedication to epic storytelling but also emphasises their versatility within the power metal genre. With influences ranging from historical events to high fantasy, this EP offers a rich and varied auditory experience that will captivate fans. Prepare to embark on a grand journey through myth and history as Siege Perilous delivers their latest saga.” – Amplify The Noiseâ
â
â“Creation’s Call it is a cohesive and well-crafted work, where the combination of rich letters in history and fantasy, with a meticulous musical execution, it makes mandatory, regardless of its short duration. [82%]” – Via Nocturnaâ
â“Creation’s Call doesn’t get boring even in heavy rotation. Five gifted musicians have created a varied EP. The solos of the twin guitars are convincing across the board. It’s just a shame that it’s over after twenty-one minutes. You want a full-length album. And of course a sweaty live performance. 9.4/10” – Keep On Rockingâ
â
â“Colorfully mixed NWOTHM/Epic Heavy/Power Metal elixir that appeals to a broad range of fans between ALESTORM, BATTLEROAR, ETERNAL CHAMPION, GATEKEEPER, IRON MAIDEN, RUNNING WILD and WRATHBLADE. Awakens a huge appetite for a full long-play album. On this EP you can clearly see that the band has enormous potential and has already given a great taste of their skills. Conclusion: Strong-looking genretobak that falls out of the usual range! 8,5/10” – FFM-Rockâ
â
â“âOathsworn,â hits the guns from the get go, slamming through the turnstiles of time and building the great beyond.” – The Median Man
â[Betrayal of the Dracolich] was one of my favorite metal EPs of 2022â – Harry Cane Twisted Mind Radio
