2 stars What is the difference between power metal and progressive metal ? I wonder because this album to me sounds like power metal. I cannot find much progressive metal here at all. When I mean power metal, I mean the worst excesses from the German metal scene, although I think you would really have to search high and low to find such a pile of hippo droppings like this album.

I really supported their label Goldtrack Records when they were established ten years ago (they later disbanded. I guess I understand why). I am sorry to slag of any of their output, but this album is really bad. A Spanish band singing in English about whatever. The vocals are pretty horrendous. Thin and painful to listen to. The music...... well, not a single good track. OK, the first track is half decent. But the rest is utterly power metal cliches and hardly worthy to be put in a CD. It is a worm's dinner. Only the opening track and some good musicianship is the saving grace here. I very much prefer Triana to this album. Only for the fans of power metal.

...at least this album now have a review.
