<\/a><\/p>\nIt took the band a little bit longer than two years to write and release the second part of ‘Starwolf’. The space saga continues with this part, but I don’t care about the story, I just stick to the music.<\/p>\n
Teutonic German metal is still what the band serves us – nothing more and nothing less. Only the ballad “Frozen” is a song below average. Vocalist Francis Blake does his best to sing this song as good as he can, but let’s face it, he is just not an outstanding singer. The other songs are all of a decent level, but that’s about it. If\u00a0average German power metal is your thing, there is nothing to carp about. There is enough variety in tempo, the riffs are rather catchy\u00a0and the melodies sound o.k.\u00a0Every now and then there are some choir\u00a0and orchestral parts, which keep the album from getting boring after a few songs. The track “Captain’s Loot” is an example for\u00a0that. In this song, influences of Manowar prevail again. What also helps to keep you focused are the faster tracks like “Warrior’s Ride”. “Wild Dolly” is a rather simple track with eighties hard rock influences. The epic song “Fortress Of Freedom” ends this album, which isn’t bad, but not a hammer either. Therefore, the songs are too average and the singing not good enough.<\/p>\n
Decent German (power) metal, not more and not less. There are two extra songs on the digipack version.
