Freedom Call have very
quickly risen to the top of the European power metal scene and with this new
release they maintain their position. There is no doubt that Germany is the
Mecca of power metal and bands like Silent Force, Helloween, Running Wild and
Gamma Ray have all become very successful. Freedom Call is a band worth
mentioning together with these bands because they are one of few European
power metal bands who manage to make great music without sounding foolish like
so many other bands tend to do today. Except for the track "Ocean" this is
one of the best power metal releases of 2001 and Freedom Call balances the
dreamy Helloween concept well with traditional metal riffs. The best tracks on
the album, "Freedom Call", "The Quest" and "Pharao", are in fact some of
the best metal songs of the year. Perhaps they get a little too cheesy and
monotonous sometimes but all in all this is a great album that fans of power
metal will easily embrace with open arms (it's rather hard to embrace
something with your arms closed I
think...).
