WIZARD – Fallen Kings

True Metal stalwarts Wizard are back with a ripping new album of Traditional Heavy Power Metal. With characteristically German precision and exactness, Fallen Kings emotes the direction that Manowar could have gone in after Louder Than Hell. With straightforward, pro-headbanging, Thrash-tinged songwriting, you’ll find Wizard capitalizing on its strengths. Unlike most modern and/or progressive acts, Wizard’s lyrical themes tend to be almost exclusively on the positive side. Words in praise of friendship, the power of Metal for positive change, overcoming challenges, and loyalty, make this an overwhelmingly uplifting release. Perfect for the downtrodden Power Metal fan in us all.

Impressively, Wizard manages to overcome the typical Power Metal shortcomings of predictability and self-parody with some thoughtful and original vocal arrangements and dead-consistent, focused energy. It sounds as if the world around you has come to life and is singing these songs, just for you.

Performances are up to the highest Euro Metal standards and Sven D’Anna’s vocals come through clear and with a razor sharp edge. Highlights include “Liar And Betrayer”, “Live Your Life”, “White Wolf”, “Until The End” and the instant classic “We Are Ready For Metal”.
