MORNING DWELL – Morning Dwell

Morning Dwell is a newcomer Power Metal band from Sweden that combines youthful flare with veteran musicianship. Their style is a straight mix between the unpolished speed of Helloween and the grandiose (if not Epic) production of Blind Guardian. Coming in at about 51 minutes, Morning Dwell’s self-titled release shows the band’s main strength and uniqueness comes in the form of very original, if not “playful,” riffs and guitar solos … all very interesting, to say the least. Vocalist Petter Hjerpe’s approach leans a little too much towards Michael Kiske’s style, but overall Morning Dwell demonstrates they have noteworthy potential.
