When you're already out there defending Metal for 10 years and have a couple of albums to prove it, you don’t need an introduction for the band that made “The Book Of Heavy Metal” one of THE best albums out there, but for the new guys… Dream Evil is a Power metal band from Sweden, assembled and integrated by renowned musical producer Fredrik Nordström in 1999 when he had the ambition of creating a power metal band of his own. For a long time he had it difficult finding anyone with musical ideals similar to his own. but when meeting Gus G. on a vacation, the bal began rolling.

Now, so many years and line up changes later, the band once again releases a typical solid album with shred, awesome riffs, deafening drums,…..Great fan material, but in the end it’s the same material they always use witch gives it a “play it safe” feeling what really is a pity considering the musicianship of these guys. This is a love it or hate it album if you’re not a fan.

73/100
