Axenstar return with their third release The
Inquisition. For those who do not know, Axenstar plays power metal in the Helloween mold, combining catchy melodies,
some nice riffing, some keyboards, double bass drums, catchy choruses and a safe mid to high range vocalist and a production
that is top notch. So, is there anything that sets them apart than the tons of other bands that sound like this?
Let me think.
Not really. Some of the songs are really
cool and have a good amount of variation and tempo changes but overall, it just starts to sound repetative. It is well
done and I do like it (save for the ballad), I just don't think it will have any staying power past a few weeks. If
this is your cup of tea, you will love this, revel in it for a long time and ordain this in your top 20 releases of
2005... I won't.
