Symphonic Power Metal
52:36 Minutes – 13 Songs

Good songs: Intro, Tears, Win or lose (!), but somehow every song has its special things…

Exciting! I am sure, this is something dark… That is really theatrical. Could on the one hand develop into something like black metal or gothic metal on the other hand…

WHOOPS! But I thought the wrong way! Hey, I can make a fool of me by myself! With the intro they lead us the wrong way and then they play real Italian power metal ŕ la Angra (I know they are not Italian ;)) and Rhapsody! I have to say that the symphony, let´s say the super power orchestra bombast stays away and the band concentrates on the main thing, the necessary instruments! That is why they sound more like Helloween and Gamma Ray. Their own touch is missing, that is why I say: Nothing special that now somehow would got out of line or that would attract attention… BUT: Nevertheless damn cool!! You just have to listen to their music with earphones!  Also very cute is the Italian pronounciation singer Anthony… 😉 Remotely SIGMA remind me on ancient Nocturnal Rites with their former singer Anders Zackrisson.
Cool songs are definitely the Intro hehe, „Tears“ und „Win or lose“!

To finish that text I have to say: The cover of Abba´s „SOS“ on the other hand didn´t succeed that much. But for the visual association they show us a making of video in homevideo quality 😉 of the track „Win or lose“ that shows the Italians while recording the song in the studio. Totally unneeded the last song „Betrothed“…
