Fourth album from this Swedish power metal act and third different vocalist, the group obviously vying for the revolving door theology of Iced Earth and Overkill. Nevertheless this is a really solid effort that should please fans of Dream Evil and Metalium while offering up something a little different this go around. I can hear a bit of Sabaton and Turisas in the big orchestra anthems and at times it just screams metal through lyrics and imagery. Sadly by album's end I had written down a half dozen riffs and vocal melodies that were lifted from other bands and songs. Hell, after Helloween who's counting anyway?
