...The "Immortal" album by Pyramaze is the best record of the band up to date. A good balance has been found between the melodic and the heavy parts of the music and this combined with the superb vocals by Matthew Barlow. It might start of a bit too familiar, but after a few songs you find an evolved Pyramaze... read the review here

...Is "Immortal" the perfect album? No, since many fans may find it a little bit single-dimensional. In addition, the duration of the CD is of not more than 45 minutes, and especially the juvenile consumers, used to 60-minutes-plus of music-meets-fillers, may be critical to this fact. Still, I believe "Immortal" is worth your money if you’re ’into’ their music or you like your Metal being ’rich’ in volume yet ample and ’Power’... rating 3,5/5 read the review here

...The songs contain a lot of rough changes of pace, bombastic passages, nice melodies, strings, fast drum parts and also choirs, all packed together in one powerful whole. There aren't any real ballads on the album because there a lot of change-overs and bridges in Ivory Moon's music: that's what a real power metalband is all about... rating 91/100 read the review here

...Epic tracks like the Christian inspired Golgota, the stunning Phantom Ship and the equally excellent Overflow (were have I heard that main melody before) stand head and shoulders above the earlier songs on the album, however as a whole Human Nature is definitely an entertaining outing, if a little derivative of the genre at times. Where the songs do perhaps fail a little it's the unique vocal interplay between Serra & Manicone that makes this band stand out from the crowd, two excellent singers who actually sing...rating 7/10 read the review here


...Ivory Moon may not convert non-believers, but fans of power metal that includes symphonic elements (ex: Rhapsody, before they were on fire) should find something very enjoyable with Human Nature.. rating 8/10 read the review here

...On 'Weight Of The World' we find solid, but very atmospheric prog metal, where we are dealing with compositions instead of the musical freak show that we usually get from other prog bands... rating 88/100 read the review here

...7 Days is a symphonic power metal band, with some hints of doom metal. There are a lot of keyboard stuff in here and some very complex orchestrations, while Markus structures his compositions in a way that flirts with progressive metal. They will bring you many (Swedish) things, like Veni Domine, Candlemass, early Tad Morose ("Sender of Thought" etc.) and -perhaps- Y.J. Malmsteen... rating 7/10 read the review here

...Amberian Dawn have put together an outstanding collection of symphonic power metal songs that will leave everyone more than delighted when they finally get their hands on a copy of this CD...

...Basically, between the excellent musicianship and the beautiful caressing vocals, this is a total winner and an exceptional debut release that the band should be very proud of. I can’t imagine anyone into symphonic/gothic style metal not being very impressed by this album. I will be looking forward to more exhilarating music from this band in the future... rating 9/10 read the review here

...Agonizer has managed to create some very attractive music and it’s served on a silver plate. Fresh melodic powerful metal with their very own in your face attitude (interesting voice from Pasi Kärkkäinen. A top class vibrato). You will be deadly surprised how tight this band sounds and also by the intelligent song writing skills... rating 7,5/10 read the review here

...Is "Birth/The End" a great record? Well, as their history suggests, the answer is, almost, but not quite. The album likely won’t blow you away, but it is a rock solid debut from a band that you’ll definitely want to watch for in the future... read the review here

...If you’re looking for melodic poppy power metal that’s not terribly aggressive, I recommend this... rating 4/6 read the review here
