There are some seriously solid tracks here, for those who enjoy Symphonic Power Metal.

My advice if you just viewing this: listen to Velatum first, then go with Sheltered (By The Obscure) and Coldness Kills. If you're looking for a sappy ballad, go with Fairytales.

I've been listening to this album and this band for several years and my 2 favorite and remarkable tracks on this album are "Derelict" & "The Heartblood Symphony". The rest are pretty solid as well. "War Of Ages" is a little better imo but this one is close 2nd.

A bit one-dimensional in places but overall an 8.5 leaning towards a 9 for me.
