After brilliantly atmospheric "On a Storyteller's Night" and the solid but unspektakuläreren "Vigilante" appeared with "Wings of Heaven", the second album of the British reference quintet led by singer Bob Catley and songwriter / guitarist Tony Clarkin. What an album. The opener "Days of No Trust" rocks for Magnum conditions downright angry from, then comes the atmospheric "Wild Swan", the radiohitverdächtige "Start Talking Love", the rockig- bulky "One Step Away", the power ballad "Must have been Love ", the catchy" Different Worlds ", the braked" Pray for the Day ", which suddenly goes off in the chorus - and then finally the long, consisting of several parts" Do not Wake The Lion ". The all clear is hochpathetisch, but in this genre that is permitted and even encouraged. Quite so fantasy moderately as "Storyteller" is "Wings of Heaven" is not, but that must not be an disadvantage. The sound is great too ... so five star and 'nen absolute buy recommendation from me.
