Quintessential symphonic power metallers Rhapsody of Fire unleash another bombastic concept album, with Christopher Lee in tow. This is like most other Rhapsody albums: thrashy riffs, lush arrangements, epic scope, neo-classical shredding. This is by turns absolutely amazing and incredibly corny, but they are consistent. Unlike ideological soul mates Blind Guardian, there really are no stand out songs, just a cornucopia of epicness. Best one is five part nearly 20 minute abomination 'Heroes Of The Waterfalls' Kingdom', which contains a touch of black metal.
