"I found out about this band by accident, and man am I glad I did. Their debut album is 72 plus minutes long with 20 tracks in all, and is part-one to a trilogy of cds and novels that are related to the same conceptual storyline. One of the band's two lead guitarists [Cruppe] is the author of the epic-fantasy novels as well as the band's lyricist, and the other [Lotta] has recently toured and recorded with [Anthrax vocalist] Joey Belladonna. The band also has an incredible visual appearance and portrays characters from their saga in full costume on stage. The music is somewhere between the Thrash Metal, Power Metal, and Prog Metal genres with comparisons to artists like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Metallica, and Mercyful Fate. The vocals are incredible and the guitars are crushing so you can't go wrong if you like any of the bands mentioned above. I am very curious to hear and read part two of the band's epic, but in the meantime I will continue to enjoy part one. The band's artwork is also excellent and is comparible to the mighty Iron Maiden's classic album covers. This type of band is exactly what true heavy metal fans are looking for. If you are into metal you definately want this cd!"
