It is much ║ │ │║ more effortless to wear a scowl and keep a ║ │ │║ cavernous distance between self-respect and the ║ │ │║ curds of joy that spews forth like poison from ║ │ │║ any music that declares itself ôhappy metal.ö ║ │ │║ Who would have the sheer audacity and cancerous ║ │ │║ thought of spreading smiles and positivity ║ │ │║ across our evil metal community? Well, GermanyÆs ║ │ │║ Freedom Call refuses to apologize for creating a ║ │ │║ niche of positive metal that spreads all over ║ │ │║ the music universe. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ DonÆt let the ridiculous artwork of the new ║ │ │║ album ôMaster of Lightö fool you, this is one of ║ │ │║ Freedom CallÆs finest albums to date. Reaching ║ │ │║ back to a time of crystal empires and stairways ║ │ │║ to fairyland, Freedom Call continues the trend ║ │ │║ shown on 2014Æs ôBeyond,ö but with even greater ║ │ │║ ability to recall that ultra-catchiness shown on ║ │ │║ its most classic material. To be fair, Chris Bay ║ │ │║ and company have always had the ability to ║ │ │║ incite positive chants from metal warriors of ║ │ │║ light on every album, but with ôMaster of ║ │ │║ Light,ö the band injects greater heaviness to ║ │ │║ balance the alacrity. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ There is really something to that ôhappy metalö ║ │ │║ term. Instant positivity in metal isnÆt a bad ║ │ │║ thing, but a thing to be cherished. In the ║ │ │║ opening track ôMetal is for Everyone,ö as well ║ │ │║ as in songs like ôRock the Nationö and closer ║ │ │║ ôHigh Up,ö if you make it past the typical metal ║ │ │║ fanÆs nausea, then consider yourself hooked. ║ │ │║ Speaking of hooks, Freedom Call is one of the ║ │ │║ best at setting them in the mouths of fans who ║ │ │║ desire more than the dispassionate growling in ║ │ │║ metal. Check out the choruses of ôKings Rise and ║ │ │║ Fall,ö ôHail the Legend,ö and ôRiders in the ║ │ │║ Skyö û songs that even Helloween and Gamma Ray ║ │ │║ havenÆt produced since the heydays. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ With songs littered with the usual thought ║ │ │║ provoking solos from Lars Rettkowitz, Freedom ║ │ │║ Call ramps up the euro power metal speed ║ │ │║ descended directly from country mates Helloween ║ │ │║ and Gamma Ray on tracks like ôKings Rise And ║ │ │║ Fallö and ôA World Beyond.ö Vocalist/guitarist ║ │ │║ Chris Bay has always been regarded as the ôKai ║ │ │║ Hansen who can actually sing,ö and it doesnÆt ║ │ │║ show any better than in songs like ôA World ║ │ │║ Beyondö and ballad ôCradle of Angels.ö The ║ │ │║ albumÆs true beacon of light is in the title ║ │ │║ track, which has an unmistakable nod to one of ║ │ │║ metalÆs biggest bands. It isnÆt even necessary ║ │ │║ to hand feed it in this review û it is so ║ │ │║ blatant that you can promptly turn in your metal ║ │ │║ cred card if you miss it. The song rivals ║ │ │║ personal favorites ôPharaoö and ô66 Warriors.ö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Just as on 2012Æs ôLand of the Crimson Dawnö and ║ │ │║ 2014Æs ôBeyond,ö the big and beautiful sound of ║ │ │║ ôMaster of Lightö is brought to you by the team ║ │ │║ of Chris Bay and Stephan Ernst. Perfectly mixed ║ │ │║ to your authorÆs ears, all instruments are ║ │ │║ nicely balanced where the beefy metallic riffs ║ │ │║ shine through. The album is a bit less ║ │ │║ orchestrated than in the recent past, with the ║ │ │║ band opting for an even more guitar driven ║ │ │║ masterpiece. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Longtime fans of the band should rightfully hail ║ │ │║ ôMaster of Lightö as an instant classic û a ║ │ │║ multi-faceted album that draws from every aspect ║ │ │║ of the bandÆs career. It is high time that the ║ │ │║ rest of the power metal community give Freedom ║ │ │║ Call the respect deserved. The band has amassed ║ │ │║ such a plethora of classics in its 18 year ║ │ │║ existence that it should be heralded as a ║ │ │║ stalwart in power metal, especially for those ║ │ │║ who prefer to keep the subgenre exactly as it ║ │ │║ was designed. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Chris Bay - Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards ║ │ │║ Lars Rettkowitz - Guitars ║ │ │║ Ilker Ersin - Bass ║ │ │║ Ramy Ali - Drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Metal Is For Everyone [04:52] │ │ 02 - Hammer Of The Gods [03:11] │ │ 03 - A World Beyond [05:54] │ │ 04 - Masters Of Light [05:29] │ │ 05 - King Rise And Fall [04:02] │ │ 06 - Cradle Of Angels [05:03] │ │ 07 - Emerald Skies [03:39] │ │ 08 - Hail The Legend [03:58] │ │ 09 - Ghost Ballet [03:07] │ │ 10 - Rock The Nation [03:11] │ │ 11 - Riders In The Sky [04:15] │ │ 12 - High Up [03:02] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [49:43 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
