Italian power metallers return with their fifth full length album after 2003's excellent self-titled release. With that release we saw the band progress in style—or digress, as some seem to think—to more of a traditional power metal band, shedding much of the Euro speed metal sound of their earlier releases. This new release shows a band more dynamic and experimental than on its predecessor. Freeman is decidedly heavier, as well.
The band still has that old school Fates Warning sound, most notable in Roberto Tiranti’s amazing vocals. The harmonies are outstanding. Musically they seem to have incorporated more instrumentation, or at least used it to a better, more noticeable degree. Most of the songs are in the mid-tempo range, but some like “Deserter” and “Dive In Open Waters” are clearly some of Labyrinth’s heaviest songs to date, showcasing a more thrash sound than any we’ve heard from them before.
Fans of power metal would be well advised to check Labyrinth out. This new album is a great addition to their catalog, albeit a slightly different addition compared to earlier releases.
