Music's nice but I think the singer ruins it all... He's nothing special which is a shame since the music deserved better.

50/100.

As I tried to point out in my review - the singer takes getting used to, and for some it will never work. But whether he "ruins it all" or you eventually accept his tone, I can't fathom giving 50 for the "bad' singer only. half the bands in metaldom would not make it past 40 then.

I actually think this is damn awesome. The vocalist sounds like Timo Tolkki back in the early Strato days and he isn't that bad. Good celtic mix here, and I want more.

Did I say he was bad? :unsure: I just think he doesn't not fit the music...

You misunderstood me then... To be honest, I find it quite average but a great singer could have made it sound much better.

Well... if the music is good, but the singer ruins the music... you would think one would have to be pretty bad to do such a thing. Regardless, the songs on their myspace have enticed me to do some further digging on the band. Great review as usual Alex.
