Respect, gentlemen !!! After About Album Eternity Freedom Call seemed with the half-baked Circle Of Life and the really bad Dimensions slowly assumed the air. Legend of the Shadow King was consistently strong, Land of the Crimson Dawn brought back partly old Trade Marks (but also angry Fremdschämmomente) out. And anno 2014 ... the Nuremberg now back stronger than ever. Whether it's the return of bassist Ilker, or whether you simply remembers only his old power-metallic strengths? No matter! This CD is simply fun. Freedom Call can finally stay away from would-be self-deprecating disasters such Mr.Evil, unwrap their old fanfares and ride out. So it must be. On Beyond there is no filler, all 14 songs are amazing, so I can not give out tips. The guys around Chris Bay do exactly up where Eternity has stopped. Or rather: Beyond must be submitted even with the Freedom Call reference work on the same level !!! The Special Edition comes with worth listening bonus CD and a book, therefore, that tells a little story that reads like a life-help guide. Funny idea. Absolute buy recommendation! So far, the surprise of the young year. Keep it up, guys. See you on tour.
