Uh? People are still doing Power Metal?

I was pretty sure that this was a extreme metal release, with a banner like Demonlord what else could you expect? I'll tell you what to expect: totally predictable Power Metal, the only unpredictable thing of the band is that they hail from Hungary, I though they where from Germany or something like that.

The album starts with a pretty useless intro and then the first real song ("Quo Vadis") kicks in with all the clichés existing in the genre, high vocals, double bass, rapid riffing, gang chorus, etc. You name it, is there. In the first part of the song they use some kind of Gregorian chants, sadly this is only found in the first song.

This band has so many clichés that is hard to name them all, I'm really sorry but I've heard every part of this before, but I don't blame the band, being original in Power Metal is a tough job nowadays, they sure can play this, they just need the inspiration.

I can't figure out why Source Of Deluge Records decided to re-release this album (it was originally released back in 2002), because I don't find it worth the job.
There are far better Power Metal acts out there, and I don't see why you have to waste your time in a generic, uninteresting album while you have a zillion options to choose from. Be careful with this one, because it doesn't have my sign of approval.
