CONSORTIUM PROJECT IV: CHILDREN OF TOMORROW

Melodic power metal is the name of the game here, with relatively short tracks that mix slow to mid-paced guitar riffs with synths, tight bass and drums underscoring. Several vocalists contribute, but the passionate vocals of Ian Parry dominate; the other vocalists here mainly add some variation.

The tunes are well written, the guitar chops are interesting and the synth work adds moods and atmosphere in a very nice way. Catchy and melodic choruses see to it that most songs are memorable, making the songs easy to get into.

Nothing new and unique here, but worth checking out by fans of high quality melodic power metal.
