Pairing up Serj with Ishahn & Devin is the most random thing ever IMO. I just finished listening to the track and Serj's vocals are downright out of place, sorry ...

That actually made me chuckle.

Ihsahn doesn't do much better. Drumming really sucks, too. Painfully meh song.

23:08 - .starrk
@Unhealer: except for the fact that Serj completely ruined the song >_> Ihsahn's voice fits perfectly, then you have Serj's abomination hastily thrown in

Question: what makes a great band? Answer: great albums! So after the not really well acclaimed "Vain Glory Opera", the German power metal band Edguy had to reach another level of quality to interest the masses. Well, 1999's "Theater Of Salvation", the title says it all. That was the album that made them enter the very protected circle of famous power metal bands.
