dragging and purposely monotonous drums, which make way for perfectly

MIND ODYSSEY Time To Change
It
"Melodic Metal of the highest calibre! The trio, lead by musical
virtuoso Victor Smolski (Rage), reveals how classic Melodic Metal
should sound. Pulsing drums, sweeping melodies, and catchy hooklines
provide a clear-cut direction for "Time to Change It". With their fifth
release, Mind Odyssey demonstrates how to combine technical prowess
with memorable melody lines in order to create first-class songs. In
this way, multi-faceted tracks emerge, refusing to let even one second
pass without delivering a good dose of earworms. Those who enjoy
Melodic Metal, should not let Mind Odyssey pass them by."

NIGHTMARE Silent Room + 1 bonus track + video
track
limited edition
This CD follows up the massively successful Cosmovision (a recommended
title) in a similar fashion, but is a bit more deliberately paced and
perhaps not as exciting. Midpaced power metal with symphonic
embellishments.

REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE Trinity
Napalm says ""Trinity" is Revolution Renaissance's third full-length
ending their album trilogy. Once again, the band revolving around main
songwriter and guitar wizard Timo Tolkki (former Stratovarious
mastermind) shows how first-class tracks such as "Dreamchild" or
"Falling to Rise" are brilliantly carried out by perfectly balancing
ambition and appeal. "Trinity's" title track is the album's core, and
while it last well over 10 minutes, each second is able to enthrall the
listener beyond all expectations. Revolution Renaissance delivers an
album able to exhilarate melodic power metal fans everywhere."

SERENITY Words Untold & Dreams Unlived
Debut CD by band described by their label as a mix of Rhapsody, Blind
Guardian, Stratovarius and Fates Warning. But my impression is a blend
of Tad Morose's heaviness and pacing with the vocals and melodies of
Sonata Arctica (with a touch of Pagan's Mind). Mixed at Finnvox Studios
(Nightwish, Stratovarius). Guest appearance by Edenbridge member
Lanvall.

SERENITY Fallen Sanctuary
Their label states "Scene greats such as Kamelot and Sonata Arctica may
be forced to step aside and make way for Symphonic Melodic Metal heroes
SERENITY and their latest release "Fallen Sanctuary". The Austrian
quintet's forthcoming album further develops and refines their style,
while maintaining their trademark sound, driving rhythm section, and
strong vocals. The fine details reveal themselves gradually, allowing
the listener to discover the hidden nuances in time. The band's
strength continues to lie in their ability to compose catchy choruses
without losing depth or complexity. The package is rounded off by Jacob
Hansen's pumping mix, which impressively accentuates the individual
instruments. These Austrians will undoubtedly reach the Metal Olympus
with "Fallen Sanctuary", and one can only wonder if in fact they hadn't
already arrived long ago."

WOLFPACK UNLEASHED Anthems of Resistance
"Combines heroic choruses in the style of Bay Area Thrash Metal greats
such as Metallica, Megadeth, and Testament with the best of elements
found in the Gothenburg sound. The band catapults the classic Bay Area
Thrash Metal of old into the new millennium. Neck-breaking, highspeed
riffs, furious solos, brutal precision drumming, and technical prowess
perfectly merge together with epic melodies, brawling choruses, and
memorable songwriting. Far removed from myriad Retro-bands, WPU dusts
off the genre and in 2007 still remains true to the one and only motto:
Thrash till Death!"
