So, if there was an album that came out in 2020 that I could give the stamp of being unequivocally epic, it would fall gladly into the arms of this disc. Now, this is one of only a small few power metal records I've heard that came out in the year, but I think regardless, the attribution still stands. An immense amount of variation, and while I was going to comment on how the vocals periodically capture some of the best by our good old friend Hansi Kirsch, deeper into the record I realized that what this actually is, is the trademark of a quality Blind Guardian album that seems to have been missing from their very own catalogue for a number of years now. This is what stepping up to the plate actually sounds like.
