So, the band has released their second album. First, a few words about the band. The group is undoubtedly known primarily for the fact that Roland Grapow currently plays in it. Calling the band young would be possible if not for one caveat — the youngest member is 35 years old, and the band was created by already experienced musicians. Overall, this album continues the direction started on the previous one; the band still plays very beautiful power metal, though this album features more epic undertones, as well as a heavier guitar sound and a slower pace.
The album doesn't break any new ground. It's executed very professionally, yet at the same time rather simplistically — the compositions are built on a single principle, and the sound remains too uniform throughout the entire album. Even the closing nearly nine-minute track differs little from the rest. What sets this band apart from the majority of other groups playing in this genre is perhaps the vocalist's rough rather than shrill voice, and the presence of a magnificent guitarist in the band's ranks. The album's songs are connected to each other, flowing harmoniously from one to the next. The album is pleasant to listen to, and power metal fans will surely enjoy it. The technique is top-notch, but everything else fails to impress.
