REVIEW: Northwind - El Retorno Del Rey Goimusic, 2002
4.5/10
Northwind - El Retorno Del Rey - cover art The Spanish l-o-v-e-s epic power metal, just to spell it out for you. Northwind has a certain name in Spain, and stylewise they fall right in line with bands such as Rhapsody, Hammerfall etc. etc. Not as symphonic as Rhapsody I should say, but neither as classic 80's metal as Hammerfall, if you see what I mean. Power metal is without a doubt the classification though, and they surely seem to follow the fantasy-epic sagas here, with dragons, knights and great battles. For me it turns out as expected. An album as forgettable as another day pass by, without any great highlights, but neither with the slaggering feeling to it. It could have turned out better I think, if they had been able to sing in English, as it's all in Spanish, which is habla-habla Espanola for me. (don't understand shit...). I just can't get used to the Spanish singing, and nevertheless some of the musicianship is pretty decent, it qualifies not more than...
