God, yet again, another Metalium album. Before I start writing the review I would like to take the time to do a little disclaimer. This reviewer doesn't like this band. This reviewer have listened several of their albums, and never liked them. This reviewer doesn't expect too much from this album, still, he's going to give an unbiased opinion about it, keeping the professionalism that he possesses.

Well, 5th try for Metalium, another Cd, another cliché driven Power Metal album, and yet again, another horrible cover art. What is the problem here? Why does their cover arts are so poor? Ok, chapter four wasn't that bad, but I expected a little effort here, instead we got another cheesy looking cover art, too bad.

Art design & layout apart, I have listened this album like 4 times in a row now and to be honest with you, not much has changed in the Metalians planet, same screaming vocals, rapid drums, gang choirs, and clichés galore.
Maybe the thing that has changed and lifts up the music is the fact that I feel the riffs more aggressive and chunky, and the number of speedy song has diminished, now you'll find more mid-tempo songs than before.

This is the first production of Metalium under Armageddon Music, their new label, and the production is better than ever, especially the guitars and the bass lines, both sound really crisp and tight.

On the ugly side of the situation, this album is one big cliché of Power Metal, everything that these guys are doing here has been done before to the death, so don't expect nothing innovative. While I must admit that this is the best album I heard from this band, is still repetitive and gets boring after a while, but those are problems of the musical genre, not the band.

Fans of the band will surely be pleased with this new release by this Germans, despite some problems is a listenable album.
