This band plays power metal...and not a very original one. This band has all the elements that a band like Stratovarius or Hammerfall could have and not much more. They have the high pitched vocals, the thundering drums and the galloping guitars and the classical solos. I think this band should set tyhemselves apart from the whole heavy/power metal scene that is in complete decadence by adding some new elements to their music. This is a good effort with good sound but they need to be more original. Favorite tracks: "The Winds of War", "Shadows of Light" and "Eye of the Storm". Contact: http://i.am/isengard
