Sweet song. Might have to check out their earlier stuff

First time ever listening to these guys I believe.. a concept about the Titanic? Nice! Not sure if that's been done before - I like the idea. Will edit with my thoughts on the song.

EDIT: Okay.. doesn't blow me away, sounds pretty generic, but it's catchy, it reminds me of early Sonata Arctica! I think I'll give this album a try.

 

[Philomelle]

Ooh, Titanic! Haven't seen that done before.

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

A Titanic concept power metal album with an Aces High cover bonus? Welp. I'm in.

EDIT: Ooh like it. Generic? Not especially from what I can tell but I love the Sonata-esque flavour. Great vocals. Sweden really know how to pump out some power metal bands, eh?

 

[Nickstervarius]

I like it

 

[Andiferum]

Hmmm. It's ok. But even pushes the generic power metal boundaries for me and I like all kinds of nonsense. Nice chorus, though.

 

[Cronopio]

I meant to add some personal reflections at the end of my initial post, but the formatting got all trashed, so I'll just do it here: I literally can't wait. Bought their last two albums as Japan imports and it looks like this will be the case here too. Tommy Johansson is slowly becoming one of my favorite songwriters in metal, sort of like the new Tobi Sammet. And now that Tobi has sort of ditched the power metal, that's most welcome. I still remember the first time I heard "The Light" (from the debut of the same name). I was floored and have been a fan since.

If you want to try their earlier material, I suggest you give "The Light", "Fantasia" (from Higher) and "Invincible" (from Majestic) a spin. There are many good songs, but these are gppd starting points.

I cannot wait for this. I've been a ReinXeed fan for a while now and this is going to be great.

 

[Cronopio]

A teaser for the album has been uploaded. Makes me want it even more.

 

[Cronopio]

So they deleted the preview clip, but uploaded another video.

 

[1928]

Wow, these guys are talented... that song impressed me more than the last one!

The melodic/rhythmic cadence at the beginning of the chorus reminds me of The Tower by Avantasia. "Can you feel the voice? You don't have a choice"

 

[Blinded No More]

I noticed one of the tracks is called "Through The Fire".... where's the flames?

[Indestructible]

They copied the name from DragonForce's Through the Fire and Flames.

 

[Cronopio]

I don't think they copied it. It's just that there are only so many ways of dealing with the same words, e.g. fire, flames, dragons, steel, battle, honor, glory etc.

 

[1928]

^ this

Bands did it before Dragonforce, after all!

 

[Indestructible]

Still, it can't be a coincidence. They obviously copied it.

 

[Nickstervarius]

Well, no they didn't. Like 1928 said, bands did it well before Dragonforce. And if you look at Spotify, so many bands/artists have used 'Through The Fire' as a song title.

Point made End.

'Through the Fire' isn't exactly screaming with unique creativity
