An Italian symphonic power band with lyrical themes pertaining to swords, monarchies, and magic, sound familiar? Don't be too hasty in your judgements, as what Ancient Bards do differently to the likes of Rhapsody Of Fire and Luca Turilli is be led by a female vocalist, and let me make it abundantly clear, vocalist Sara Squadrani is an incredible singer. Her vocals in tandem with the brilliant guitar, keyboard AND bass solo's make for an incredible debut album. Read more ›› |

Sara Squadrani is awesome  , a very special voice for the metal. I need more listenings, but for the moment the three first songs (01-02,03,04) are very good, also i like "Lode Al Padre".

Well, definitely i have to say it is a great album, very solid in all of their songs, but what really stands out about this band is the singer, seriously tremendous talent, even when she sings together with the choirs (Epic Choir Toto Corde), also this part is very well realized (even in a similar quality level to Blind Guardian i dare to say). Voice really with a great feeling inside this melodic metal with a very classic taste, epic keyboard parts, powerful drum, medieval classic touch, and of course great symphonic elements.

I really, really like The Birth of Evil. But the rest of the album just bored me.

8.5 leaning towards an 8 for me. A good power metal album if a little cliché in some parts. Still a recommended listen for power metal fans!
