Quite a change in style... essentially all power metal aspects have taken a leave. I love this project but I'll have to listen to this album a few more times to try and get into it.

Symphonic power metal and AOR sounds like an unusual combination if you ask me, I must check this one out.

I wouldn't call them AOR, they are catchy and melodic, check out their previous work before listening to the new album.

It's a unique take on heavy-power I'll give them that. I enjoy them quite a bit.

Need to listen to this. So far there are mixed reactions over this. Looks like they left all the power elements. But can't find them on BC

What a fantastic new album!Yes, it is not as metal as their previous works but it's unmistakeably Keldian sounding full of tasteful music and great, i mean GREAT, choruses.Spread the world friends.Keldian never dissapoint.

It's not a bad album, it's not quite what I expected though, I found it a tad underwhelming at first, but it's a grower for sure, it's very experimental and very much on the soft side, and there's not much sign of their early power metal sound on here, but it's still a pretty solid hard rock album.

The best thing for me are the vocals, which I'm getting some strong David Bowie vibes from. "We Are Rebellion", "The Legacy Lament" and "I Am the Taker" stand out for me most, the rest seems a little on the bland side, but there's still nothing I would say is below average standard.

Avantasia.

Excellent album, I'm rating this a generous 9 for how enjoyable it was for me. These guys have always delivered good music.

This was not what I have expected. The metal elements are mostly gone. Even the songwriting is not so great on this album.. No hooks or choruses that stuck in my head after first listen. I will give it more spins but first impressions is not great for me.

I miss the space themed lyrics, but the music is still Keldian even without all the Power Metal elements.
It takes a few spins but I think it will grow on me.
