DARK AVENGER – Tales Of Avalon: The Terror

The expectations were huge, as the last (and first) album was a power metal monster. On “…The terror” I can not find the crunchy riffs, but I see a band that works more with moods and vocal arrangements. The sound is not over the top, but still; there’s a lot of quality heavy metal to embrace. The singer works up a sweat around Midnight (yeah, it’s true) and a good shaped Bruce Dickinson. And in addition to that, Mario Linhares has improved his English since the debut. I see no reason to emphasize on special songs, this is simply good power metal all the way through, maybe with a little more epic sound now than last time. Also, I might regret holding back another point, as this seems to be an album that grows on you. I will for sure spin it again…
