With this new album the Gods Lost Horizon are able to reach again the maximum musical level they reached in their first release, Awakening The World. Again we have the first an the last track missed, I mean, the album has 9 tracks, but the first and the last one are just galactic sounds of disintegration, not songs, we can not consider them songs at all, so we have actually a 7 songs album. Anyway, the album has a total playtime of 53 minutes, which means we have songs from 6 to 13 minutes long, so the album is not a fake at all in this sense. With this new album the band's sound has matured a lot, and the arrival of new members have helped to give the band their own sound and sign.

This band never got the recognition they diserved, maybe because it was also short lived.

I remember picking this up dirt cheap as a teenager when I was big into power metal. Back then the German model appealed to me, with Helloween, Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Blind Guardian etc. Thought it was cool, but it's mostly been sitting in my shelf untouched for all these years. Some time ago I picked it up again. Turns out it's pretty much the best power metal album I know. It's ridiculously over the top, but somehow it also sidesteps the biggest musical cheese bombs in power metal. It's never stupid or easy. The verses flow seamlessly into the refrains. Maybe it's that I've lately listened to a lot more doom and epic metal by extension, and this is definitely closer to the epic end of power metal than the thrashy or the keyboard-pop branches of it.
Thought I couldn't enjoy power metal anymore, but lately I've been enjoying this album thoroughly.
