State Of Triumph

Here comes chapter 2 for a big Power Metal band. First thing to say when you hold the CD is : Wow ! What a fucking great artcover !!! So as for the music, I was worried a bit because Metalium had several line-up change and god knows it's not good for a band. Mainly Chris Caffery and Mike Terrana (the machine) and many people expressed their fears after they left. Well, after 2 minutes of listening to their new album I can put all my fears to the rest. This album is even better than the first one if you ask me, perhaps because it's a bit more melodic. Now Metalium have a special recipee that makes them unique, with a special guitar sound, a singer that every band would kill to get, an epic touch and a production over the top fabulous with a crisp and clear sound ! This album is epic and it's 100% metal fused ! The singer is one of the best german voice ever. Impressively showing his range of capabilities you can find some Helloween then and there, Gammaray early years (Ralf Sheepers) and everyone knows it's not an easy thing to sing like Ralf. But it's not only a synthesis of other guys, no no, this singer (Henning Basse) is really something, and no words can speak better than the music itself so I'll let you judge for yourself. A strong and epic release that puts Metalium in the center of the Power Metal scene ! Congratulations !
