riginating back in 1998, this recent "Band Of The Year" out of Kalix,Sweden is very young (average=20) but a very tightly combined squad using elements of Manowar, Virgin Steele, Lost Horizon and Divided Multitude with Yngwie-esque guitars. Lars Eric Mattsson helped in various ways on this CD with production and choir/orchestral arrangements on these 10 tracks that hits over 44 minutes of keyboard layered songs and not giving them too much of an identity since there's many of this style nowadays including Lars himself. The music is good throughout however and worth keepng in your collection but it isn't anything groundbreaking for the masses.
