I don't know Sonata Arctica and I didn't know about their existence until @Dad_Wood tooted about them.

Judging from the name and the artwork I expected Nightwish style melodic/symphonic metal from Finland 🇫🇮

Turns out the latter was correct, and for the other stuff?

Well, I guess I need to find out, and there is only one way to do this properly... 🤘

Kicking things off with their debut

...and is what I got.

That was a bit of a surprise tbh, but I like me some cheesy melodic riffs and vocals from time to time.

Overall is a solid album, a good and fun one time listen.

2.5 out of 5 wheels of frozen cheese.

The album is solid, a fun one time listen. 2.5 out of 5.

I think this was enough cheesy power metal for today, I can only take so much. I think I need some Motörhead now.

Ranking:

  1. Silence 2.5
  2. Ecliptica 2.5

Phantoma
From the explosive opening seconds of their 2009 debut "Behold The Devastation", UNLEASH THE ARCHERS sounded like a band with big things looming in their future.

Album Review: UNLEASH THE ARCHERS Phantoma
"Honestly, the biggest flaw of Phantoma is a gripe that could be made about a lot of power metal: too much of it sounds too similar."
