Judging from the title of this album most
people would presume this to be power metal and they are absolutely right. The
songs are telling stories about dragons, kings, warriors and the wars they´re
fighting, lyrics that most power metal fans are used to hearing from their
modern heroes. Being from Germany At Vance sounds very similar to a lot of
other power metal bands from the country but perhaps they are a bit more
emotional and slower-paced than the average. They haven´t got quite what it
takes to join the first league yet but who knows what the future has to bring.
Some of the songs are really good like the bombastic opener "Dragonchaser"
and the beautiful ballad "My Bleeding Heart" but the more traditional power
metal tracks often gets a little boring. There are a total of ten tracks on
the album but only eight of them are written by the band themselves. The other
two are surprisingly a metal/rock version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony and a
cover version of Abba´s "The Winner Takes It All". Some bands like Rhapsody
manage to make this kind of epic, spiritual power metal real interesting and
alive but At Vance still has a few things to learn even though this isn´t
really a fair comparison. Good music it is and fans of the genre could without
a doubt find a way to enjoy this album.
