Freedom Call
Master Of Light

No experiments and eclecticism - but listening to the album is not boring. Then suddenly something from Angra of Matos flashes, here - Edguy’s ears seem ... from “Metal Is Forever”, for example, Gamma Ray smells like a mile away, and “Hammer Of The Gods” is perceived as a clear heir to the work of Helloween! The ballad “Cradle Of Angels” - like a breather bridge among the power fighters, “Ghost Ballet” quite organically combines a natural “disco” and a rocking “rocker”, and the next “Rock The Nation” will completely pass for a stadium anthem ... Not to say that right away all twelve songs are kept in suspense - the middle of the album is a little sagging, not boring, but not holding attention. But the first and last songs, real hits, charged to the maximum with positive energy, are very competently selected. With timekeeping, the musicians did not go too far too, keeping within nearly 50 minutes (and if suddenly someone is not enough - there is a limited edition with a bonus disc or a Japanese single-disc, but with four piano bonuses). The output is a reference happy power metal. And this is not just a speech revolution, which is usually used indulgently with a grin, but really bright and kind music, listening to which, you believe that life is really a great thing, and if everything is not very good now, then a little later everything will definitely be well.

Super band, super album! Power metal for all metal fans! Univevrsal!
