Majestic - Abstract Symphony

Richard Andersson would later become more famous with Time Reqiuem and Space Odyssey but this is were it all began, I also think Majestic evolved into Time Requiem. Anyway, already here the path was carved genre wise. It's very Yngwie Malmsteen inspired neo-classical metal combined with power metal. It's has a good production and the band is playing really well (some great guitar solos at times). I'm not the biggest fan of neo-classical stuff so I was suprised how much I enjoyed this record. It's not great but there's plenty of strong songs here. The song Losers Shades of Hell would later be re-recorded for the Time Requiem debut record.
