@@APREACTS Agree, I really hope Gates of Ekrund surpasses Diggy Diggy Hole, because the song is great and isn't a stinkin' minecraft song cover. Shall we expect an album review?
Been waiting for this reaction all week! This song rocks. My favorite Wind Rose song so far. It may be the heaviest to date as well. Thanks for the reaction!
This was a really awesome song but I agree with you on the vocals. When I was listening, I loved the vocal pattern but I felt the song didn't have the punch it needed and I couldn't really nail what it needed to make it hit harder. I wasn't sure whether the guitars needed more drive but I think the vocals being a chorus doesn't ever really allow them to come forward into the track. Very catchy and is definitely one for the favorites playlist, but I think Wind Rose could elevate themselves even higher if they had more of a punch. That's one thing I notice about a lot of power metal these days that I miss with old power metal. When I listen to old power metal like Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray, they are heavy in addition to being catchy, fast, and anthemic.
Duders! speaking of bands that put you in the mood to forge steel and rage war.... you guys should check out battelore again, i know you have done one song by them before, but just trust me that was probably one of their worst songs to recommend.. if you really want to know what battlelore is all about, check out The War Of Wrath - Live In Tavastasia Club 2003 such a raw fun energy at their shows.
Hate to point out to you guys but one of the band members did stick his freshly made blade into water you can tell by his action it is in just one scene
