Morifade has grown to become one of the leading progressive / power metal bands in Europe and now they have finished their third album "Domi<>nation" which was recorded by King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque at Los Angered Studio in Gothenburg. The production is beyond criticism, the instrumental skills are shining through the entire album clearer than ever before and every fan of melodic power metal should enjoy this album as much as their previous releases. Just listen to the intro riffing of the second track "A Silent Revolution" and let it take you on a journey far from this world. I do have one objection concerning the production though as I would have liked this song in particular to sound clearer and heavier but I guess the band is putting some effort into keeping their large Japanese fanbase and perhaps this is what they like best in the land of the rising sun. This song is nonetheless one of the best on this album. I would say that this album is slightly more progressive and intense than previous efforts but they have still managed to keep the song writing at a very high level which is what have taken them this far in their career. I am glad that we have bands like Morifade who have blown some fresh air into the power metal scene. Stand-out tracks: "A Silent Revolution", "Panopticon", "Erase".
