Oh boy. We got ourselves yet another of them masked bands boasting all those forbidden delights Power Metal could possibly furnish. And all of them are Lords to boot. Dragonknight here, a – and I quote – “…new conceptual band…” delivers a slick brand of Power Metal.

Way too slick for some folks, who immediately sniffed the terrible stench of an AI production. Well, judging by the label promoting this album and the presence of one Mikael Salo (ex De Lirium’s Order et al), they indeed form part of Finland’s PM brethren. But – cheese on red-hot iron drips fast … [...] Click to raid more!

Ah, what splendid news just crossed our hawse here? The Unseelie Court, the haven of the evil fey, seems to be in session again. The RMR crew is full of suckers for mystical realms and unsolved myths, so pretty much any record offering such riches may will get a shot over at the office.
