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

While it sounds familiar and by the books its hard to fault Solar Fragment's sophomore effort. Just like Persuader and Savage Circus these German brand their metal after the makers. One listen can peg influences like Blind Guardian, Helloween and Gamma Ray through ten romps of blinding speed and finesse. The production is sharp and piercing while the vocalist deadpans Piet Sielk (Iron Savior, Savage Circus). Blind Guardian's Hansi Kursh steps in for a cameo on "Inside The Circle" to lift this above the crowded scene.
