The sticker on the album promises “Traditional Heavy Metal displaying twin guitar and vocal harmonies, huge power chords and a pounding rhythm section!” and I can’t disagree. If you have a look at the artwork first, the sound of the band could go two directions. Either we are facing a band that appreciates epic metal a la Cirith Ungol or it’s a warm sound that directs towards the early ’80s when bands like Magnum and Nazareth brought mystic knights, dragons and more to the front-page. The link to the latter isn’t too surprising knowing, that Rodney Matthews created the artwork of ‘Doorway of Time’.
Now, Butterfly doesn’t explore the landscapes of epic metal. The band from Melbourne, Australia is inspired by rock music from the ’70s and early ’80s. Listening to ‘Doorways of Time’ is like a journey back in time when heavy riffing met excellently crafted melodies and a psychedelic vibe (‘Nobody’). The quartet starts off the album with ‘Desert Chase’, a song that’s build on a grooving bassline and well done guitar lines that bring back the earlier Judas Priest in a way while the repetitive persistence reminds of Black Sabbath. What sounds like a good start is a good start.
