My Comment
Sweedish power metal scene has grown rapidly leading with many top band such as Hammerfall, Falconer, Dream Evil, DragonLand, Noctunal Rites and others. Timeless Miracle bringing chearful epic rythm with catch riff and powerful. Tempos range from all-out speed, to slow and ballad, mostly in all song. This is Power Metal all the way, but there are just enough twists and turns to keep things consistently interesting. Not very heavy yet really enjoying and good sweedish influence. Many of the melodies on “Into The Enchanted Chamber” show a strong Folk influence mix Gamma Ray, Freedom Call, Sonata Artica, Elvenking. Its was great album btw. Also with mix with keyboard, violin and backing guitar, for sure they will pawn u down. 1st few track was superb. Soft but powerful. Recommended this album to all Power Lovers.

My Comment
Freedom Call are back with new album in Jan 2010..woot !! with new basist join the force in 2009, hoping he will done a great job. Bringing 14 epic track, not much change in their concept. I can just compare with Eternity (not yet listen to Dimension). For me, the band really shown up in Eternity better than this one. What did happen? not much effort? maybe...sound was epic but very simple and not really attract listener. So far "ThunderGod" much shown than other track. "Merlin - Legend of Past" is more like Gamma Ray style. Symphonic also less and not much catch my attention. I quite dissapointed with this album. I hoping they can be better in next album. Good luck

My Comment
Exiter is one of legendary band that formed in 1980. Afterwards, they come together and making this compilation compile their top song over time. btw i not hear yet their album "Thrash,Speed,Burn" releasing in 2008, so i cant comment further. Despite the music under speed and thrash, they manage to coins 80s speed thrash band in that era. Vocal from Dan Beehler is bit like King Diamond, Iron maiden. For sound, its like 70% thrash 30% speed. The good thing is their re-recording back some song to produce quality sound. For rythm, it was catchy and noisy. Special thanks for godspeed solo by John Ricci (he the oldest member here). Great flamenco in "blackwitch".Well btw its good album to hear. Good for them to re-live and continue again speed thrash scene for future listener.

live long life heavy metal maniac XD
