In 2001, their dry time ended as they ║ │ │║ released their first album ôPower Withinö. Since ║ │ │║ the very beginning they attempted to make their ║ │ │║ Metal sound classic and right to the point, and ║ │ │║ so they did and followed their mojo to the ║ │ │║ present. After five years of waiting since their ║ │ │║ last album, ôWarfairö, they came up with a new ║ │ │║ album û ôGloriousö. The album was released under ║ │ │║ the bandÆs new label, Apollon Records (on the ║ │ │║ division of Painkiller Records). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The bandÆs music is highly influenced by the ║ │ │║ 80Æs and it is not too difficult to hear that. ║ │ │║ Even their sound production sounds very familiar ║ │ │║ to better times. The man that made sure of that, ║ │ │║ besides the bandÆs request, is the known Tommy ║ │ │║ Hansen (also the running man of several of acts ║ │ │║ as HELLOWEEN, IRON FIRE, PRETTY MAIDS and ║ │ │║ others). Tommy, as always, did a wonderful job ║ │ │║ on these guys. With TommyÆs brilliance, the band ║ │ │║ produced some nice Heavy / Power tracks filled ║ │ │║ with lots of nostalgic moments. The mixture of ║ │ │║ Euro and American classic Metal of theirs is ║ │ │║ relatively compelling. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Even so, I have to say that I did not find ║ │ │║ WOLFCRYÆs release a super release. Even so, they ║ │ │║ did make a good job. Their music is easy, good ║ │ │║ Metal for the ears, strong rhythms (especially ║ │ │║ on the bandÆs flag track ôVile Mindö). However, ║ │ │║ there is some sort of a lack of energy and a ║ │ │║ sense of tiredness on some of the songs. Gladly, ║ │ │║ they did make the fine line between Heavy and ║ │ │║ Power Metal. On most of the album itÆs the ║ │ │║ American way without too much help from the ║ │ │║ European counterpart. Yet, it does not matter, ║ │ │║ because their tracks are going to both ║ │ │║ directions, for the better and less than that. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Overall, I like this release; it has some epical ║ │ │║ moments, which are quite good. Furthermore, the ║ │ │║ players share great abilities on their ║ │ │║ instruments. On the other hand, on the creative ║ │ │║ side, they chose to make their way easy and ║ │ │║ safe. On some cases I would have agreed with ║ │ │║ them because doing too much complex stuff might ║ │ │║ hurt in the end or in due process. ôGloriousö to ║ │ │║ me is a very nice album and I took notice of ║ │ │║ some good tracks as ôThe Golden Eraö, ôFace The ║ │ │║ Fearö, ôPayback Timeö, and ôConsequence Of ║ │ │║ Ignoranceö. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If you are a fan of classic Metal, check out ║ │ │║ this band. ôGloriousö is a show of the safest ║ │ │║ way to make good Metal music without modern ║ │ │║ trends. This is the true form of this type of ║ │ │║ music, let it in through your ears. IRON MAIDEN, ║ │ │║ GAMMA RAY, IRON SAVIOR, old HELLOWEEN fans will ║ │ │║ dig this one. Take it the Greek way. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ LINE-UP ║ │ │║ Costas Hatzigeorgiou: vocals ║ │ │║ Elias Koskoris: guitar ║ │ │║ Nikos Hortis: bass ║ │ │║ Andreas "The Wizard" Kourtidis: drums ║ │ │║ Nick "Peper" Zanninello: keyboards ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ DISCOGRAPHY ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The Ivory Tower Demo 1996 ║ │ │║ Promo 1999 Demo 1999 ║ │ │║ Power Within Full-length 2001 ║ │ │║ Nightbreed Full-length 2003 ║ │ │║ Warfair Full-length 2005 ║ │ │║ Glorious Full-length 2010 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - God Of Deception [03:34] │ │ 02 - Fadin' Visions [04:53] │ │ 03 - Holocaust Of Nothing [03:54] │ │ 04 - Consequence Of Ignorance [04:07] │ │ 05 - The Golden Era [05:29] │ │ 06 - Payback Time [03:34] │ │ 07 - Vile Mind [04:23] │ │ 08 - Face The Fear [04:39] │ │ 09 - I, The Sinner [08:56] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [43:29 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
