IRON FIRE - REVENGE

(4 out of 5 stars)
""Revenge" is Danish power metal band Iron Fire's third album, released in 2006. It is in large part a stylistic return to their first album, "Thunderstorm".
"Revenge" is a little inconsistent - there are some quality songs here, and some that tend to fade from memory and get lost in the shuffle. A little more variety would have been nice.
This album was produced after a long hiatus for the band, and the listener can tell they have an axe to grind. Many songs are to some extent self-promoting - "Iron Fire" and "Ironhead" show up in the lyrics so much you'd think this was a hip hop album.
Nevertheless, "Revenge" is a fine power metal album. It was Iron Fire's best release to that point, and it laid the foundation for the eminently superior "Blade of Triumph"."
