"Top Priority Metal Blade release in January". So, did
Metal Blade bet on the good band. Yes they did. This band
is compared to Queensryche, Crimson Glory and Lethal ; personally
I prefer to compare them to "Grim Reaper meets Crimson Glory".
You know, with music, you hear what you want to hear, but
only one question remains : Good or Bad album ? It is a
good, a very good album actually, full of power, with very
interesting prog elements added to this power metal music.
Singer's hero must be Bruce Dickinson (David Taylor (singer)
could have chosen much worse). However, he took me a lot
of time before being able to find out that David Taylor
in fact sings like Bernhard Weiss - Axxis's singer. Powerful
riffs, good singing (far from Steel Prophet's singer, but
somehow very nostalgic voice from the 80's) and there is
no boring moments in this CD. But (yes there is a but),
the sound is not as good as I was expected (following RockHard's
album of the month award). The sound isn't crystal clear
(again far from last Steel Prophet, Sonata Arctica or Running
Wild). Apart from this little detail, it is still a MUST
for every power metal fan. After two years of True Metal
wave, are we entering in a new wave called Power/Prog Metal
(Steel Prophet, Evergrey, Jacobs Dream) ?
Well I prefer to think that there is one wave and it is
called : METAL Revival. Fully enjoy this one.
