i totally agree. this is the best cd i have heard since i first heard theocrazys last album. i would easily give this album 98.
and as you said, the First song let it roar is a real killer.

Excellent album, definitely one of my favorite so far this year. A pure 9/10.
15 spins so far and it gets better and better each time, unlike new Stratovarius. I also think it has more in common with classic heavy metal/ melodic metal bands than power metal ones ( Powerwolf/Sabaton/Strato...)
And Noora kicks ass!!! Actually everything on this album does. :dio:

Listened to a couple of songs on this....she definitely has a unique voice as far as female singers go.

Really digging this one. A major improvement over their last album, and definite upgrade in the vocal department.

guys, Let It Roar = Fear of the Dark

song's just ok, don't find it extraordinary at all... her voice is quite cool, though.

haven't heard anything else from the album, judging from the review i doesn't seem like my kind of power metal.

I remember Enter the Metal World being moderately popular around here, it was interesting enough... Maybe I should check this out.

The production on this album is worse than the debut, imo. Also the songs aren't quite as powerful overall. But it's ok. 6/10

I was worried when I read it was a female handling the vocals, but she's quite good. Reminds me of the singer of White Skull.

The first album is WAY BETTER and even if this new vocalist is good, she is not as good as their original. The first half of the album is really good, but then it becomes medicore:

MetalTemple 7/10:

Metalarchieves: 79/100
http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/B ... st/370817/

Angry Metalguy 2.5/5:

I would give this 3,5/5.

So I've had the chance to listen to this a couple of times and it's definitely a fun album. It's sort of like metal fast food, I'm gonna enjoy it a lot in the near future then I'll probably put it down and not listen to it for like a year or two. But I'm okay with that.

Just got this and....it's fucking kickass. Not sure if it's worth 96 but id give it around 85-88

As far as im concerned it's better than the previous one and the new vocalist is also an improvment. Much more raw and in your face. It's also very catchy and just pump me up to death when i need a dose of energy

Great stuff



:dio:

Yeah, this is definitely more of a classic heavy metal style than power metal.

Great album either way. The debut was pretty goddamn good, too.
