Hi All,
One of my favourite melodic symphonic metal bands returns on 31 Jan with their new album, 'The Last Knight'...anyone else a fan?
Spoiler alert: it's not their best, at least, not in my opinion - a bit hit & miss if I'm honest
But i'll be interested if anyone vehemently disagrees...
As always, here's my review if you're interested in reading it:

Cheers,

Like I said in the other thread, this is my favorite Serenity album, by far. It's a lot more consistent than usual, for me, since it has fewer generic power metal melodies. It sounds a lot hookier to my ears. "Lionheart" seemed far more generic when I heard it.
This is my easy album of the month for January, not that there was a lot of competition.

Looking forward to it but with modest expectations. "War of Ages" was my favorite, and they've gradually gotten away from the dual vocal approach that I loved so much.....

They've been as boring as Contemporary Christian since Codex Atlanticus, which is a shame because they were so stellar through Death & Legacy. I'm not even going to waste my time thinking about this one.
