Customer Reviews The wision is so close behind! I took a listen to this album before buying and decided to purchase when I heard the Queen-esque breakdown in Ring of Steel. The title of my review is a joke, of course, alluding to the lead singer Ander's thick accent. Now, I find that this album and Sacred Talisman (also by NR) are two of my favorite power metal albums. I will echo other reviews and say that NR's best work by far was with Anders. Each song on these albums is memorable, fun, and catchy. The newer albums are alright at times, but seem cookie-cutter and homogeneous. In my opinion, early NR runs circles around the Hammerfalls and Stratavari of the world. a short but honest review even this is de secon album most of people think is first. one of my first heavy metal albums since my old university years in Chile. This and sacred talisman are the classic and best work of Nocturnal Rites . TO Say simple the voice of Zackrisson made a totally different sound talking about the similar music in heavy metal melodic groups, Guitars and harmonics are constantly shouting and telling to you that this is the real classic heavy metal. i was very sad when knew Zackrisson left. . . . Then the band took the tipical progresive way that you find in to many bands today In my collection this is top ten hope that it helps you . Satisfactory melodic metal album If you enjoy melodic European heavy metal, this is a moderately satisfactory album, with no innovations a all in any department,but very professionally performed. .
