ARDA O Skitaniyah Vechnykh I O Zemle

   Power metal performed in Russian with main inspirations from BLIND GUARDIAN and GAMMA RAY and professor Tolkien as well. The very first track reminded me a lot GUARDIAN's hit Mirror Mirror but then the guys proved they are not willing to copy German traditions and applied to ARIA's legacy. They have also picked something from THERION's "Theli" at least at instrumental track. Nice solos, powerful vocals, memorable verses. English language bonus "Fly Away" is not that good and I think it just unnecessary. On the whole the album sounds better than recent metal opera (Elfiskaya Rukopis) and it is performed and recorded on a high level without any cut rates.

Fawkes 9/10
