Bloodbound - War of Dragons (AFM Records)
The next entry comes from Sweden, with Bloodbound's 7th full length album "War of Dragons" that is as power metal (with an Rhapsody/Italian-like cheesy feeling) as it sounds! Patrick J Selleby's vocals blend perfectly with the symphonic/ orchestral elements and amazing guitar riffs by Tomas & Henrik Olsson!
"Battle In the Sky" with its awesome & intense drumming gives off strong Rhapsody vibes with a chorus made for sing-alongs and stories about dragons & magic (nothing else is needed)-making it the one of the highlights of the record! "War of Dragons", which gave the album its title, is a full symphonic epic blast with another amazingly catchy chorus and the essential guitar solos! The epic "Stand and Fight" which starts with a Sabaton-like feeling is equally powerful while "Silver Wings" is an interesting flute-based change of pace! "King of Swords" is another quick-paced blast and "Symphony Santana" adds a more pompous theatrical element. The records ends with the totally feel-good "Dragons Are Forever", another amazing song for sing-alongs that will stick to your mind and will definitely make you want to see the band perform live!
93.25/100
Below is the official video clip for the song "Battle In the Sky".
