Clearly the Daniel Heiman effect is strong, because I apparently gave the debut a 6 but this is definitely better than that, borderline 7/8 - pure Europower but made well, and the title track is very good

Good album, title track is very epic and probably my favorite of this album, but I still prefer the debut.

I prefer Papadopoulos to Heiman (they are both great). Definitely a good follow-up, will listen to it a few more times to see if I like it more than the impressive debut.

There is something about Hellenic scene, some years many bands put awesome albums, some years few, this is example how good that scene is. Great epic heavy metal album whit perfect length, killer songs, I like it. Who will reviev it Nik, Andy?

Excellent album, with amazing performance of the great Heiman. Hopefully he'll stand in this band.

Had my hopes high after The Flame Rekindled but it ended up being the only great song

The vocalist saved the day here, his great performance elevates the album so much.

The production is a huge let down. Way too linear and compressed for this style of music. Let the vocals and the guitars soar.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 15.01.2024 at 19:51 It just so happens I listened to some of this album earlier today, and although I find it a phenomenal effort, both in songwriting and performance, there's still something holding me back from giving it a higher rating. It could be, as you say, the compressed production

Much better fit for me this time around than Heiman's work with Warrior Path
