Fall of an Empire [Bonus Track]

Returning from an extended sabbatical that saw most of the band's lineup turn over, French prog metal outfit Fairyland return with their most symphonic album yet. Opening with a blatant "Carmina Burana" ripoff intro track called "Endgame" (which reappears in various guises thrice more over the course of the album, like it's a recurrent theme in the Lord of the Rings soundtracks or something), Fall of an Empire sounds like some kind of ill-conceived cross between lightweight '80s poodle metal and the worst, most Rick Wakeman-like excesses of '70s prog. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
