Wow, I once bought their "Holy War" album on an impulsive whim when I heard "Majesty Of The Mithril Mountains" in a CD store. Later, I started liking it less, mainly because the vocals sounded a bit off to me. But now, years later, I see that they've released quite a few albums since. I youtubed this whole album just now and WOW! Jonas' vocals have definitely improved a lot! This is a very good album. Really refreshening in this genre where Rhapsody is master, but whom have been belching out a lot of repetitive albums lately.

Seems like they're still experimenting with their sound and that's a good thing but, for me, the album is just OK. Throne OF Bones and Fire and Brimstone really stand out to me having listened to it once; perhaps it is a grower.

This one is rated better than Starfall?! I don't get it...

It's been a while since I listened to the band, I'll try to give them a listen to see if i agree with you (in 2026).

I've listened to songs from both albums, I still prefer Starfall. But then again I'm probably the exception to the rule here.
I can respect the ambition behind Under The Grey Banner, but it's not exactly my kind of thing. Starfall is more straight-forward which works for me much better.
(Euro-power is a very hit and miss genre for me, so you might as well ignore me here... )

Fair enough, I respect difference in taste 😁👍
