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
