First of all I must say
that I´m admired by the fact that Narnia managed to record an album clocking
in at exactly one hour (at least according to my stereo). Well done! For those
of you who don´t already know this band I can tell you that they are a melodic
metal band from Sweden. Their music would perhaps best be described as
Europower meets Joey Tempest. Especially the vocals are very reminiscent of
the legendary Europe (also from Sweden...). There are some pretty good songs
on this album like "Inner Sanctum" and "Walking The Wire" but the
compositions tend to get a little boring at times, in particular the slower
songs with tireing guitar solos instead of passion and emotions. Considering
the fact that these guys are Christian believers you might expect them to have
a positive and hopeful message to the world but instead the lyrics are almost
as sad as the most misanthropic black metal band. The impression you get from
the lyrical aspect of this album is rather resigned with lines about the
computerized society and hopeless state of the world. This is no bashing of
the band if you see it that way, just an interesting observation. Narnia has
never been that appreciated by me and this third album does unfortunately not
change my opinion about them but if you´re keen on guitar solos á la Yngwie
Malmsteen, Europower á la Edguy and melodic metal á la Dio then be sure to
check this out on the 12th of February. Strong vocals but not as strong
music.
