Lost Horizon this is not. - 80%

Largos, December 18th, 2006

After Daniel Heiman left Lost Horizon, everybody had been thinking, if Lost Horizon will be able to make albums so good, and what will be done of that awesome voice. The second answer is in this album.

This is straight power metal. I can't think of any band that sounds like this, but that is because I don't know if there is any power metal band that is so simple! Really, this looks like mainstream power metal. Every song has almost the same speed, same structure, and there aren't any memorable solos, even some are quite good. So why that 'high' rating?

Daniel Heiman is a god. Really, he is the only reason to buy this album. He was better in Lost Horizon, but even though, he sounds like an angel here. I can't think of many vocalists better that this. At power metal, he is unbeatable. Almost every chorus here is amazing only because of him. His voice is so uplifting and powerful, that it's very difficult to not make a good album with him.

So this album is only for those that want to hear more of Daniel Heiman, since we don't know when Lost Horizon will release another album. But remember, this isn't Lost Horizon. Only get this if you really love Heiman's voice. If you don't like it, subtract 50 points, and you'll ses how this record has nothing special, but the voice.
