   Valkyrie: General Info
Member Since6/6/2004
Band Websitethevalkyrierides.com
Band Memberspete adams- guitar and vocals
jake adams- guitar and vocals
will barry-rec- bass
warren hawkins- drums
Influenceszeppelin, tull, maiden, scorpions, thin lizzy, truth and janey, pentagram, captain beyond, wishbone ash, priest, bang, sabbath, the obsessed, fuzzy duck, saxon, lucifer's friend etc etc
Sounds Like"The 2 guitarist assault with dual harmonizing showed the musical telepathy between these guys, who are also brothers. We’re talking some heavy metal, like the solos you’d hear from Iron Maiden, but these guys have their own thing going on."......"Some bands rehash the style of their influences. With Valkyrie, they just play the music as it was back when music wasn’t categorized in 300 different ways, and all that mattered was to plug in and play with conviction and soul."
- Stonerrock.com

"There is no pretension, no posturing, no overreaching, no contrivance and no over-deliberation- it's clear that the spontaneous expressions contained within are natural and personal."
- Diabolical Conquest.com

"The guitar work of Jake & Pete Adams here speaks of men who, like the best in any field, transcend genres to make a complete work of their own. Wonderful stuff."
- Ray Dorsey's Chaos Realm

"somewhere between straight-ahead NWOBHM and strictly psychedelic."
-Hellride Music.com

"Their true gift is the extended jam section... taking songs into completely unexpected directions and then wowing us with genius riffs and some wailing solos. What the Adams brothers do with their guitars... is nothing to sneeze at. "
-smother.net

"With an appeal that is undeniable, and songs which retain their bite and shine through countless spins, Valkyrie are destined to make a name for themselves within the hallowed halls of Doom. "
