A generic slab of power/thrash metal. I feel the production is meant to sound nostalgic, but little space exists for music so trapped in the 80's, especially when it's this unremarkable.

Very enjoyable album from the most consistent power metal band of the last decade. My favourite songs here are "Allegiance", "Insanity" and "Till the End of Time".

Another great offering from Firewind. Even more quality guitars, even more keyboards, even better drums and even better vocals. Apollo Papathanasio (vocals) and Mark Cross (drums) are great additions to the band. The solos and riffs are magnificent, but some songs are definitely better than others.
Top 3 songs - Insanity, Falling to Pieces, Till the End Of Time
Bottom 3 songs - Where do We Go From Here, The Essence, before The Storm

Firewind's Allegiance album is nothing short of a great listen. Guitar virtuoso Gus G has recruited a new line up for this album, and in doing so puts together what very well may be the most talented line up to date. The guitar work is great, and the solos are astonishing. The only problem is that some of the riffs sound the same, but this can be overlooked if you are listening to the album as a whole. The drumming and bass are a dominant force in the music of Firewind, and combined make for a very solid rhythm section that help to drive the music. The vocals on the album are veyr well done too. Apollo, making his debut with Firewind on this album, shines for the most part. Several times on the album he uses too much vibrato, but his voice is powerful and captivating nonetheless. Power metal how it should sound, that's what Allegiance is. Shove it, Dragonforce.

With the new line-up, Gus G has obtained a fairly new sound with Firewind's fourth official full length album. To me it
was a little less epic the earlier works, you could even say it was slightly heavier than past releases. The album has a
few flaws and can get a little repetitive in the end. Still, a great listen for any power metal fan. Again, blazing guitar
work from Gus G. Very creative solos that fit in very well with the rest of the music.
