Back with guitarist Olaf Thorsen after 7 years, the sequel to Labyrinth’s 1998 worldwide power metal breakthrough doesn’t disappoint. Speedy, melodic, passionate – along with Rob Tiranti’s magnificent range (listen to his low to dog ear scream before the solo on “The Shooting Star”) makes amends for the last two less than adequate efforts. The six piece weave a musical tapestry full of neo-classical and harmonic action, keeping these 10 songs vital in a time people are looking for purity within the genre.
