This German power metal outfit have been around for a good few years now and having dealing with this band before via a review for an old webzine I did have some indication what to expect. However this have been a very difficult review to write. When I decided to launch legions I decided that I will try and be as honest as positive with a review as I can be.
On here is some very good songs which is guaranteed to make you tap your feet and they are very strong tracks, with the likes of “Heaven is calling” and “Fame and fortune.” The vocals are strong and guitars and drums are solid. There is a definite classic feel to these tracks without sounding dated. They have definitely matured since I last heard them on “VII”
Then they go and ruin it with not just one but three ballads. With “Don’t dream” and “See me crying” playing one after the other is not a good layout for an album. Both songs are very weak and worst song of all is “Things I never needed” These really put me off giving the album a higher mark.
Overall not a bad album they won’t gain new fans with younger people but older metal fans should love this album. Just fast forward the balladsand it will be fine. They will send you to sleep. Next time I would like to see something with more energy and then At Vance will have something special.
