Nothing wrong with this

(4 out of 5 stars)
"It's a shame that this disc has been as poorly reviewed as it has. The sheer presence of Charles Rytkonen's vocals ought to earn minimally 3 stars. The man has a distinctive voice that carries some power and emotion with it - think Savatage but with less emphasis of the upper ranges.
Musically, there's nothing especially new being delivered here. It's basic, driving riff after basic, driving riff with a few texture breaks thrown in. Tempos stay within the same general groove for the most part and that might prove problematic for some folks wanting a true burner or ballad to break things up (track 8 Sorrow Calls starts balladesque but reverts to to a rocking/ballad hybrid and track 11 is their take on a Tolkien tune from Fellowship of the Ring... at least it is prior to their joking parody of Depeche Mode and a reggae song that is familiar but I just can't place).
Reagrdless, if someone is looking for a solid power metal album, Morgana Lefay deliver."
