This is the second album from Swedish outfit Thyreos, and are yet another in the power metal vein from that country. What makes them different to most is that they have a harder edge both musically and vocally. Although Fredrik Norden has a strong range (as would be expected within this genre) it is the additional angst and passion in his vocals that assist in taking this to a quite different level. Fans of the genre will point to Edguy and Angra as influences, and the result is something that is surely going to create the band a lot of fans. I am somewhat surprised that I hadn’t come across this band previously, but possibly that is down to being on a somewhat small label but now that they have signed a publishing contract with Pure Steel they will get more publicity as on the basis of this it is richly deserved.

As it so rightly says in the press release, this album “features 12 very diverse songs, which have influences from Hard Rock to more harder styles. Sometimes they sound dreamy and lyrical, sometimes very hard rocking! This album is definitely a very promising and fascinating mixture, which will please lots of different fans.” If you enjoy your metal melodic, are partial to keyboards and plenty of riffing guitars while also refusing to stick solidly within one genre then this may well be for you. www.thyreos.se
