First impressions of this album reminded me of early Judas Priest. Nice melodic metal with a story line.
There are a number of things that detract from me giving a higher rating.
The recording sounds like practice session in the basement, a bit flat and fuzzy. The potential is there but some professional help will tighten up the sound a lot and add some dynamic range.
The timing between the guitarists is slightly off. Most probably an artifact of the recording process. Better synch between the players will sharpen the sound.
The most disappointing is the singing. I respect the fact that the singers first language is not English but it shows in that the "edge" is taken off the pronunciation. Metal sounds best when there is more harshness to the singing. Try screaming obscenities at yourself in the bathroom, if you don't wince you need more practice.
