All great songs. ║ │ │║ Excellent songwriting, great riffs and melodies, ║ │ │║ you've got some good music right here. 2003 ║ │ │║ brings Far From Heaven, with a few less ║ │ │║ memorable tracks, but all in all a very good ║ │ │║ album. Not much changed from their first album, ║ │ │║ if we're going to be discussing lyrics. It was ║ │ │║ pretty much the same stuff with some twists here ║ │ │║ and there with more catchy melodies. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Now, 2005 gave us The Inquisition. I was looking ║ │ │║ for this album everywhere, and finally found it, ║ │ │║ hoping it would live up to my expectations. I ║ │ │║ took a look at it, started playing it, and ║ │ │║ immediately began to like it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ However, after a few tracks, I started to ║ │ │║ realize Axenstar did with this album what they ║ │ │║ did with Far From Heaven - it sounds very ║ │ │║ similar to there previous albums. Now, that's ║ │ │║ not exactly a bad thing, and I understand it's ║ │ │║ probably harder than I think to change your ║ │ │║ style of music, but a lot of the stuff sounded ║ │ │║ similar. The production quality is more or less ║ │ │║ the same - I found the vocals to be slightly ║ │ │║ nicer to listen to, myself. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The Fallen One is a decent opener, nothing ║ │ │║ incredible. Under Black Wings is another good ║ │ │║ song, still nothing superb. Most of the other ║ │ │║ tracks are good, but in my opinion, they're not ║ │ │║ as good or memorable as Perpetual Twilight's ║ │ │║ songs or even Far From Heaven's. The most ║ │ │║ notable tracks are Daydreamer, with a catchy ║ │ │║ chorus and great melody, and The Sands of Time, ║ │ │║ which is pretty nice to listen to. The Fallen ║ │ │║ One and Under Black Wings are other noteworthy ║ │ │║ songs, as well as Drifting. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ There's really nothing new on this album, though ║ │ │║ in my opinion, it does feel like they tried to ║ │ │║ vary it up a little, mood-wise. The Inquisition ║ │ │║ is nothing excellent, nor is it bad by any ║ │ │║ means. Axenstar has great potential and is ║ │ │║ already making very good music, but they need to ║ │ │║ mix things up and, in my opinion, work on the ║ │ │║ production quality just a little more. While I ║ │ │║ do find the vocalist unique and easy to ║ │ │║ recognize, I think they need to work on how ║ │ │║ Magnus's voice sounds. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If you're looking for some escape from music ║ │ │║ like Rhapsody's tales of swords and dragons or ║ │ │║ Dragonforce's apocalyptic nightmares, check out ║ │ │║ Axenstar. It has the catchy, melodic music you ║ │ │║ want while still having good vocals and lyrics. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Line-up: ║ │ │║ Magnus Winterwild - Vocals, keyboards ║ │ │║ Peter Johansson - Guitar ║ │ │║ Thomas Eriksson - Lead guitar ║ │ │║ Magnus Ek - Bass ║ │ │║ Pontus Jansson - Drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - The Fallen One [03:51] │ │ 02 - Under Black WIngs [05:38] │ │ 03 - Salvation [03:57] │ │ 04 - Inside Your Mind [05:53] │ │ 05 - Daydreamer [04:33] │ │ 06 - Drifting [02:28] │ │ 07 - The Burning [07:16] │ │ 08 - Run Or Hide [05:05] │ │ 09 - The Sands Of Time [04:32] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [43:13 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
