"Recently Scandinavian Heroic Power Metal bands such as Sonata Arctica, Dragonland, Lost Horizon and Supreme Majesty and a couple from Germany such as Freedom Call and Edguy have been stealing the thunder from Italian Power-Metal groups. One Italian group Domine hasn't backed down though. Their third effort, Stormbringer Ruler is one of the best Epic Power Metal albums to come out of Italy recently and is Domine's best to date.Many strong songs including "Horn of Fate", "True Leader of Men" and one of the best Power-Metal songs by anyone, "The Ride of the Valkyries". Not as cheesy or speedy as Rhapsody, more imagination than Labyrinth, more consistant than Skylark, more experienced than Desdemona and Dragonhammer and almost as good as Thy Majestie. Give it a shot."

"I also have their other 2 albums - they are ok - but not great. So I did not expect to much from this one - but I was wrong - this is an incredible album. The last two tracks are my favourites. Sounds like bands like "Dark Moore" and "Heavenly" - melodic speed metal but not double base all the time - a bit of variation - and that makes this album great, If you want to buy a Domine CD - this is the one."
