0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Ninth album to date from these Italian veterans. This is the second album for the group on Dragonheart Records and a reunion of sorts with former singer Federica "Sister" De Boni. She was the band's vocalist from 1991 through 2000 and rejoins the group after a thirteen year hiatus. This album has all of the familiar Teutonic favors, power metal 101 with very little variation in the last twenty-two years. This is for the diehards only.
