I even think I overrated this album... The one thing I can hear when listening to this album is the lack of inspiration.
It's not a bad album, but nothing to fancy about. I doubt WarCry fans consider this one as the band's best album.

It's as good as the others... I don't understand, when a band innovates and change style it gets bad critics and when it stays the same way, get bad critics too... that's why I think they are underrated, the metal situation here in spain is really hard... few people listens to it and the rest think it's evil, so let this people do his work I don't really mind if they don't innovate, at least they do spanish metal... Dark Moor is less or equally original and has more success, the different is they sing in english and that changes all. I can assure and bet whatever that if this band would sing in english won't be that underrated

Well, sure, this album is different from WarCry's previous efforts, but still it's not really innovating, it's more standard to me. At the same time, Stravaganzza brought some real innovations to the Spanish scene for example.
On the other hand, I agree that this album is way better than the latest releases from Tierra Santa and Saratoga, who are more famous than WarCry, since those two albums are plain as hell and if they happened to sing in English, they would probably be even less famous (same for WarCry).
If Dark Moor became famous, that's mostly because they released their first album back when power metal was dominating the metal scene worldwide. And since they even had a female vocalist and that at that time, it was cool to have a female vocalist, it was easier for them.

@wrathchild: yes, this album is Heavy Metal... very good review, but one thing about it:

When you say "I must say, though I've never really been a fan of WarCry because of two things: I find it not original enough and lacking conviction. This album is no exception. If you're searching for something new I guess there are better albums to discover", sorry, but it was an unfortunate phrase, it is not correct, precisely WarCry is exactly the opposite, is unique, because one simple reason: Víctor García, if you are able to find a band like Warcry, tell me please =), the only similar that you can find are the two albums from Avalanch, "Llanto De Un Héroe" and "El Angel Caido", nothing more. Even you contradict oneself in your review when you say: "But don't worry, it sounds 100% WarCry, and also 100% Víctor García" .

If he hadn't been in Avalanch before, and started WarCry out of nothing, I'm pretty sure the band would have gone unnoticed. Avalanch is the only reason why WarCry and García are known.

But anyway, it's something that's tied to the history of Spanish metal, that's why our views are different, and they're both right. You can write a review if you feel like this album deserves a better review.
