Bombastic, cheesy, and energetic. What more could you possibly want?

Beautiful album, as practically anything played with vocals by Daniel "Muthaf***in'" Heiman.

There's a band with Katsionis and Heiman? I'm slipping, take my money.

Good stuff. I loved their debut, but this is even better.

I don't think I've heard anything from this vocalist since A Flame To The Ground Beneath, so took me a while to register who it was, but it is a shame that we've not heard more from him, as he's got a great voice. This will presumably be one of the best power metal albums of the year, Don't Fear The Unknown is pretty great

The singer is amazing, and the songs are good too.

Nik where is thoughts about Hellenic band?
This is good PM, HM, whit good energetic song structure, it starts well, middle part was a bit boring, ending was good, winning best PM album, no, but do we need it? Yes we do. Will it be remembered? In some way yes, I see future to this band, more if live scene will open soon.

It's a pretty good power metal album, just like the debut. Heiman is on it, so it could never be bad. The man could sing over Lars's drum solos and make them sound awesome.

He did some albums with a few bands, if you're interested check the more recent Dimhav, his ex band Heed (Nothing is an amazing ballad), Harmony (Theatre Of Redemption)

All credits to vocals. If it was my genre type, would have rated better.

I'm not that big a fan of power metal. But this was pretty good. The vocals are obviously great and the riffs are also cool

If it wouldn't be that triggered drum sound, and more natural sound of that instrument, that perfect album would be without any other con.:grandpa: For me 10/10 and the best album of 2021 anyway.

I didn't like the debut, but I enjoyed this album quite a bit, great vocals indeed.

As a big power metal fan I tried listening to this a few times but I find it severely overrated. It lacks any kind of impact and it's utterly forgettable. At least there were two good songs on the debut but this is just bad.

I really like this one, great epic songwriting (even if cheesy), wonderful melodies, and of course incredible vocals by Heiman as usual. One of the best releases in power metal in recent years imo.
