They're in that category with Powerwolf, where they deliver the same album filled with the same songs. They're good at it, and it's enjoyable, but there also isn't anything different about this record from the last one, and the last one...

That means I'm not sure how much incentive I'll have to play this one over the ones I already know, but it's a good record for sure. I like it a fair bit, and it could be a list contender.

Finally been digesting this and also seeing them live. Overall my opinion is that it's a great album. Production, singing and songs are all at a very high level. The disco-y or dance elements are sometimes to the fore which may turn off the metal only brigade but I enjoy those tunes as well. The album also features one of their best ever songs IMO which is Blood Of Heroes.
