![]() And Niklas gives a fantastic performance with a powerful but also melodic voice, using the right pitch required for each moment and giving a more dramatic feel to the verses and the choruses. The best thing I can bring out is, first of all the performance of most of the band members, especially Niklas Isfeldt and Gus G, the latter has already proven to be exceptionally technical and skilled, and every time he can here, in the few moments he is really given, he unleashes his quality and creates some of the most memorable moments of the whole work thanks to his harmonic but fast shredding. ![]() In the end I see that statement of intent as ridiculous and laughable, he could have done a 2 hour intro or started the song in the middle of the performance and everyone would simply not have cared.īut what about the music? Maybe in that aspect the album redeems itself, and in part it does, but it still has many shortcomings. And it's exceptionally funny because the intention of this work is to tell a story, and I say intention because except for one version the order of the track list is totally wrong, which indicates how little anyone cares about what they have to tell. I always say, there is no such thing as a bad resource, it's the people who uses it badly, so the fact that an artist would give up an element like this altogether just tells me that he hates world building and atmosphere and is therefore a mediocre artist. The beginning of the album is a total declaration of intentions, from the first second it goes full force, it doesn't waste a single moment to hit you with its direct and bombastic sound, and although there are many more albums like this, the mind behind this band, Fredrik Nordström, decided to start the album like this because he doesn't like long and pompous intros. While I was doing research to write this review, when I thought I had everything I needed to write what I had in mind, I discover that this is a concept album, I could easily have been laughing for 5 minutes about this fact, because it couldn't have done more to prove one of my main points about this album.
