Album:"Dragonlord"
Sonido XXI 2001


When listening to this album my mind went to the Helloween´s Keepers era. Specially in songs like "Kamikaze", "Dive" and "So deep";where you´ll hear catchy riffs almost identic to the helloween ones;but this ones become repetitive in certain moments where the song dicreases and gets a bit boring.But not only the music is similar to Helloween, also the singer sings helloween´s way, his voice is between Michael Kiske melodic voice and the particular voice of Andi Deris. The album's structure is componed of continued tracks of different intensities like "No time to cry",a nice ballad, and "Home of fight" a tipic power metal song, and my favourite. But all this without a intro solo or melody. The album has two instrumentals, the first one Requiem;a guitar solo, you´ll like only the first minute, 'cause it becames repetitive and boring as the time passes untill  it changes to fade out, this in my opinion shouldn't have been included in the album. The other one is a drum solo not brilliant but good indeed entitled "Battle of drums".The album ends with a closing melody similar to the introductory one. In general it´s a good album by a band who deserves a chance to be heard, specially if you like Helloween's keepers (who wouldn't). But if you're sick of Helloween clones just skip it.

Score:8/10
