This is a very enjoyable and nice album,the first of a very talented German band which made some serious waves with this debut album!The main quality of this band is the sensational voice of the Greek vocalist Joti Parcharidis...realy sensational!He has a wide range of expression and delivers some powerful vocals,but it's absolutely stunning in the slow register!Joti had a previous band called HYDROTOXIN which released a single album OXYGEN- very prog metal band very DREAM THEATER orientated!It's pure jewel this album,but made at that time some strong impressions in the prog metal community!Well...Joti offers on this album one of the most sensitive and wonderful metal ballad FORGIVE AND FORGET, a musical pearl and only this song is a serious and motivated reason to discover this excellent album!On this song Joti's voice is simply marvelous and the intense and soulful interpretation is impressive!Other highlights of the album are-the closing title LITTLE FLAME,LORD OF EARTH and the sensational instrumental track-THE FORTRESS-where the guys are delivering in a very impressive way the amazing technical capacities that they owe!The other songs are in the power metal register with a great rhythm section,double drum pedal and agressive guitar riffs !The use of keys is clever and the German metal style is 100 % respected!A very nice album,with a solid and crystal clear production ,a 100 % inspired debut album !Almost perfect 4,5 STARS for an impressive debut album!
