Wow. I would never have imagined The Sword getting better, but they surpassed my expectations...hardcore. If you are a fan of them then you already know that this cd is downright incredible. From the opening/warming up track "Acheron/Unleashing The Orb" to  "Night City" you know you stepped into a fucking awesome Heavy Metal wonderland. This is the third album by this amazing quartet of  rock gods and this one will gangbust the shit out of you. I would give this (and the past two albums) a listen. You might remember the song "Freya" from the first album in Guitar Hero II, some of their other works have been used in the Guitar Hero series as well. I would check out "Arrows In The Dark" and "Night City" and you'll be hooked for sure.

 I remember when Firewind first caught my ear with their cover of "Maniac" (originally Michael Sembello) on their album The Preminition. I became an instant fan. This Greek power metal band has released a stellar follow up  to their past albums. So far... my favorite in their discography. Their sound is potent and their style... criminal. The opening track "The Ark Of Lies" hooked me immediately. Their tracks "World In Fire" and "Embrace The Sun" are beautifully crafted into a perfect metal abyss. I suggest you at least listen to these tracks and mark this band as one to watch for future releases,
