| Axenstar Far from heaven |
This album is fantastic if you are a fan of pop metal. Yes, pop metal. Far From Heaven is full of catchy songs that stick in your head and have memorable hooks while still staying power metal. Axenstar manage to avoid tediousness by having endless original riffs and melodies and keep things fresh throughout the album with creative composition and good lyrics.
I recommend this album to fans of Sonata Arctica who don't require relentless shredding. |

| Generally power metal geeks aren't going to like this album, because it's not geeky power metal. However it is a fantastic, inspired, and well-written piece of rock music. |

| Finally Nocturnal Rites, the band that steals everyone's song names, releases an album that shows some originality. They didn't stop stealing song names, but they did improve greatly as artists. This album is a power metal essential. |
