Gutteral growls, rasp-growl hybrids and roughened up clean singing - definitely not what you would expect in a power metal album. Unless you are psychic. Or you've been following Dark Empire for a while. Read more ›› |

Thought I was listening to a Helloween album, that vocalist sounds very similar to Deris.

Lol, he really does sound like Deris. First, they had Jens Carlsson who was at times reminiscent of Hansi Kürsch, and now their new singer resembles Helloween's frontman. Funny coincidence.^^

Was so excited about this album. Finally obtained it and a bit disappointed. Not much in common with 2 great previous albums. Too much death vocals to my liking. I guess I keep on listening to it and see if I can get into to more. But so far not so strong vs older albums.

Honestly, I do enjoy album musically, but Death vocals don't do much for me. I prefer original vocals from Distant Tides. Musically it's a great album but vocals spoilt it for me

He was telling, that he is going to improve more thrash and death sound of DE music and together with a lot of Symphony X influences ("The Odyssey", "Iconoclast") he made very good stuff. Besides, death vocal was always integrated element of DE sound, so you shouldn't be surpriced to hear it once again  Production could be a bit better though
