EMPIRES NEVER LAST

This is the only Galahad album that I have listened to so far, but it is an excellent start. There is not any weak song in the album. It is a perfect blend of fine melodies and a powerfull music played like a metal band without demonstrating any technical skill.

There is no need to analyse the album song by song since previous reviewers have done it sufficiently. In general, choral or acoustic piano / guitar intros are followed by heavy drumming and guitar riffs with keyboard layers and the tempo changes again with melodic keyboards or guitar and remarkable back vocals. 14 minute long "I could be god" is a good example of this which can be considered as a track in three parts and stands out as the best piece IMO, but every song is very good.

Any prog fan who loves heavy rock with cathcy melodies and has not listened to Galadah before must listen to this album. Highly recommended.
