Where can I
get the CD?
Narnia - Desert land |
| This CD has I've been thinking about a lot. Their previous was a little dissapointment to me, it was not heavy enough! But with this release Narnia has shown that they are the masters of neoclassical metal, with superb guitar-playing and excellent keyboards these guys knows great music when they really try hard to make it. They've been touring with Dio and signs of that are to be found here, it is very heavy - to say at least! The 9 tracks (+ one hidden that Victory hasn't still today figured the meaning of) are of very high quality. Just one track, The witch and the lion, doesn't fall in to my taste. The opener is a fast very strong metal songs, with Sabbath influences and Christian is singen the best he has ever done( so far)! Then follows the songs I mentioned earlier but after that comes just masterpieces! You'll find a ballad as well, Revolution of mother earth is one of the best I've heard! Compered with Yngwie's and Stratovarius' ballads. But the two best songs are to be found last, it is the instrumental piece "Misty morning" and the epic 9-minute tune "Trapped in this age". They are awesome you should check out Carl Johan's guitarsolos on these tracks! The first reminds me of Stratovarius' instrumental track located on their CD Episode, but it is not a copy! The other song is just great with a superb end! I won't tell you more, I just command, if you're in to Neoclassical metal, to buy this CD!!! |
