And it's a pity, because here really great songs are included: Although "By the Hammer of Zeus" is a cultural and historical misconduct, but at its core a typical complex DeFeis belter that would theoretically leave powerful, as the usually somewhat calmer title track or " Necropolis "and" The Bread of Wickedness ".
"In a Dream of Fire" goes for a change without grumbling ear - here falls also the problem of production is not so on. Stark will also always in quiet and keyboard-heavy moments: created in "Nepenthe" (unfortunately also to quieter vocals) and especially the short "The Torture's of the Damned", the goose bumps and finally contains a few powerful eruptions!
The song "The Orpheus Taboo" and the bulky "to crown them with halos", sometimes also "Eternal Regret" are then already again a matter of taste due to the high proportion of head voice (so has Mr. DeFeis but even earlier the split fan base .. .)
What is now to begin at Amazon with a 3 star rating of undecided music Stöberer? To buy or not?
My recommendation for non-Virgin Steele-Kenner: Only with the hammer albums "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" or "Invictus" start, because they are more accessible and especially sound technically better by far.
My recommendation for Virgin Steele experts: First listen in peace if you production listening 'so spoiled like me, or - as the 5 star reviewers - not at all.
