Settle down children - yes, this is power metal, and yes, it leans more toward the Euro style power metal a la Sonata Arctica or Stratovarius, but the music manages to still have some balls attached to it. Yes, their are bands aside from Blind Guardian that can still achieve this it seems.

One of the best power metal albums I've ever heard, brilliant stuff. Albums of this quality are quite rare in the genre these days, highly recommended.

So it is. So many albums today doesn't have the feeling that we see in this work. It's very impressive. I have listening it many times and sound like the first time!

It has potential but shit man, can someone kick the vocalist in the balls and tell him to wake up? He gets completely lost between all the other instruments. Music is about 7.5/10 vocals about 5/10....overall 6/10

Brilliant music but poor, really poor, pure shit on vocals! I give music 9/10 but vocals get something like 1.5/10

Killer album musically , but the vocals is kind of awkward , the band should consider replacing him definitely

Registered on this website to rate this album. Saw these guys randomly when they played Noctis in Calgary, and I picked up an album.

Really creative songwriting... super epic stuff!
Awesome guitar and drumming.

Vocals and production could use a little work next time around, but these are minor complaints. Looking forward to the next album! 9/10

I see this discussion about the vocalist: I don't think he's bad, he just doesn't bring much energy to it. If the vocals had some punch behind them then this album could have been SO much more. I enjoy it a lot, it's quite good, but it just drags a bit too often to be really something special.

Oh my god listening again. Just a coincidence I'm sure but....

...will someone please listen to Eluveitie's "Inis Mona" then listen to Viathyn's "The Oracle's Prophecy" and post their thoughts?
