YEAH, PYRAMAZE RULE!
Michael, Jonah, Morten, Niels, Toke & Matt, you've all done an unbelievably great job!
Thank you for this masterpiece!
I eventually got my copy yesterday. I began to read the lyrics on my way home and became more and more excited. Then I cranked up the volume of my cd-player and started to listen... and I was surprised as soon as Year Of The Phoenix passed the four-minute-mark, not what I had expected! Ghost Light neither... and the other six new songs as well... they all sound different than I had expected them to sound after reading several reviews and knowing the two samples. BUT, EACH OF THESE TRACKS IS AWESOME!!!
Why the hell is everyone saying Pyramaze sound like Iced Earth? Only Matt makes me think of Iced Earth, but he is hardly ever singing in high registers though. In my opinion he has never been that powerful in Iced Earth! I never heard such keyboard sounds in Iced Earth, neither keyboard solos nor breaks like that in Year Of The Phoenix, Caramon's Poem or Shadow Of The Beast! Pyramaze still have their trademarks that make them different from all other bands. The whole intro of Ghost Light for example reminds me of Children Of Bodom but I'd never say that Ghost Light could be a song of this band. Pyramze of course have their influences but in the end they only sound like Pyramaze!
I'm listening to Immortal non-stop and with each run I notice some more amazing details. And as said in one of the reviews there are only two points to criticise:
1. only eight songs
2. we'll probably never get new songs of Pyramaze with Matt
But besides that, IMMORTAL ROCKS from the first to the last second!
By the way: the live bonus tracks are great as well! They make me want to see you guys live even more! Hope to get the chance some day!
