Traditional metal with a strong epic flavor of the highest order. Visigoth, on their second offering provide us with a much more focused effort which includes tighter songwriting with a better sense of direction and great melodies. The songs are memorable and the vocal layering brings to my mind that of Blind Guardian and even though nobody even approaches the German bards on that department, Visigoth's vocalist is amazing at what he does. Many people compare these guys with Manowar but to me they're closer to Cirith Ungol, Omen and even Pagan Altar. Overall, this album is a step towards the right direction and puts Visigoth among the best acts of modern traditional metal.
