Dawn Of Glory is a power metal band from the south
of Sweden that formed in 1999 in the ashes of two bands called Monostheus and
Fundamental. This is their third recording but it is the first with their new
vocalist Björn "Balle" Persson. Some record companies have already
taken interest in the band but they have not been offered a contract worth
signing as of yet. These guys are fine musicians as proven with the music on
this disc but if they want nothing but a major label deal I think they are
aiming to high at the moment. They are trying to make their entrance into a
world where the leading bands are called Gamma Ray, Primal Fear, Hammerfall
and so on and that is a very difficult task to say the least. When having
listened to these three tracks I can say that Dawn Of Glory has at least one
very precious asset that they should cling on to namely the new vocalist who
has a very powerful voice. Their music is certainly enjoyable and well
performed but it feels a little stiff and lifeless at times. The band hasn't
quite found a strong personality of their own yet either which is very
important today when there are so many bands who try to do the very same
thing. Dawn Of Glory is a band on the rise but I value originality a lot
higher than skills today and there is unfortunately not much of that to be
found here. The sound quality is however exceptional for a self-financed
recording. These guys are professional and that is a very good
thing.
