Black Majesty - In Your Honour

Label: Limb
Format: CD download
Released: 2010
Reviewed By: Mark Gromen
Rating: 7/ 10


Fourth album from the traditional, meat & potatoes power metallers from Down Under: lots of speedy tempos, twin guitars, high (not stratospheric) clean vocals and produced by current Masterplan/former Helloween guitarist Roland Grapow.

 

‘Break These Chains’ is an exception, a full on ballad, sporting a Bruce Dickinson solo works intonation within its lyrics, which really ain’t their strong suit. Sort of like the movie Speed: don’t drop below 50 mph, or the whole thing explodes! Speaking of seismic disruptions, check out the fleet fingered ‘Further The Insane’. The opening ‘Far Beyond’ and ‘Millennium’ also feature the Aussies at their best.
