I'm suprised noone's made a thread or review about these guys here. The band is founded by Alestorm's vocalist Christopher Bowes, though in this band he just plays keyboard and lets another, truly amazing, singer by the name of Thomas Winkler handle the mic instead. Their debut is called Tales from the Kingdom of Fife and sounds pretty much like a mix between early Rhapsody melodywise and current Sabaton productionwise. All in all it's pretty fucking good. The lyrics are extremely cheesy which i personally love but might offend some people. People agreeing with most of Chris's reviews will probably love these guys.

This is ridiculously bad and represents everything that is bad about this type of metal. |

Ridiculous band more than ridiculously bad. Never listened to Alestorm or these guys , I'm not into this kind of stuff for years now, but I don't see anything wrong with a little bit of feel good fantasy metal. |

Judging from your Bloodbound thread I thought you were gonna like 'em. Nice melodies, a good singer and ridiculous lyrics. Just like Bloodbound. |

It's annoying is what it is. But don't let me ruin the party for you. I was just stating my opinion not trying to direct anyone away from it. |

I don't mind anyone disliking them, though. |

Anything with galloping rhythm guitars are already half in with me. Actually one of the main reasons I liked Bloodbound's debut so much. |

I guess I find this to be whimpy and too symphonic sounding. Whereas Bloodbound sounded more traditional power metal to me. The Rhapsody comparison is undeniable, and that alone is enough to make me dislike it. |
