First of all I am back...second of all..Morifade is back...FINALLY...I got tired of all the delays for a European or American release and I managed to get a copy of the Japanese release about a month ago..and boy was it worth it!!!

If you are familiar with Morifade and wished they were a little heavier...then this is the album you have been waiting for from them. This thing i HEAVY!!! For those of you that don't know, they are a melodic power metal band that has slowly gotten heavier with each release (this is their third) without losing much of the melody.

First off the singer is pretty good.... upper-mid range with a pleasant and controlled voice. He doesn't try to got beyond his range, either up or down, and he doesn't sound over-bearing or whiny. The guitars are heavier than they hav ever been for them. There is a lot more crunch in them than before and just plain....well...heavier. The use of keys is apparent but not dominating and really accentuate the sound of Morifade.

This is by know means groundbreaking or anything... but it is damn good. If you love power metal and are starting to get irritated by a lot of crap out there......this is it.
