Rating:
6.7
In most reviews of traditional/melodic metal genres, the reviewer finds it essential to point out how the albums in question are "nothing new or original", and if they by any chance are, the word "surprisingly" must be thrown into the mix. But I won't do that anymore. This is the case with Dakesis and many others: they play a genre which spawned dozens of quality releases and was perfected in its current shape a long, long time ago - you probably won't hear anything "new" in it. And that's okay, especially if the band has some magic of its own.
