And - surprise! It's Power Metal! ║ │ │║ But do not fear, you won't get the 7.926th ║ │ │║ HELLOWEEN-clone, but there are enough edges ║ │ │║ around to positively differ from most of their ║ │ │║ genre-colleagues and they also have the quality ║ │ │║ to stand above the broiling mass of soundalikes, ║ │ │║ at least that is what I think. Musically they do ║ │ │║ not explore ground-breaking new terrain, but ║ │ │║ manage to make their variant of Power Metal ║ │ │║ nicely variable and to avoid to genre-typical ║ │ │║ cliffs of nursery rhyme-choruses, sweet melodies ║ │ │║ and similar elements. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The opener "Sacrificio" shows all of that, ║ │ │║ driven by thundering double-bass, with good ║ │ │║ chorus and unclichΘd vocals. Add to this "La Luz ║ │ │║ De Ishtar" with its classical influences and ║ │ │║ more epic melodies, the very nice and not sappy ║ │ │║ ballad "La Noche Cae", which gains in speed a ║ │ │║ little towards the end or the very variable ║ │ │║ instrumental piece "Tres Y El Apocalipsis" and ║ │ │║ you have a pretty good impression of the ║ │ │║ Spaniards' sound. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Some might have issues with the Spanish vocals, ║ │ │║ but if you don't have any problems with this (I ║ │ │║ like them, because they add their own touch to ║ │ │║ the whole matter), then you'll get a classy ║ │ │║ piece of well-crafted Metal in "Dimension IV", ║ │ │║ which shouldn't disappoint any genre-fan. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - En El Umbral [01:02] │ │ 02 - Sacrificio [04:43] │ │ 03 - Nada Que Temer [04:36] │ │ 04 - Sentencia [06:00] │ │ 05 - Mujer De Hielo [05:16] │ │ 06 - La Luz De Ishtar [05:53] │ │ 07 - La Noche Cae [05:11] │ │ 08 - Incierta Realidad [04:27] │ │ 09 - Tres Y El Apocalipsis [05:10] │ │ 10 - En La Otra Dimension [07:23] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [49:41 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
