Review | |||||||
European Power Metal has been on a long crusade and nothing seems to be stopping it. "Flower Metal" is the term that you often see connected to many European Power Metal bands with a slick and overly clean production, but with Signum Regis you cannot say they fall into that category. They do things a bit differently compared to their European partners in crime. Chapter IV: The Reckoning is Signum Regis' fourth full-length studio outing and it's very much a riff-driven – supported by synths, of course – epic Power Metal album with a mean streak and they are not your typical Sonata Arctica nor Dreamtale. I really like the musical territory these Slovaks operate in, combining pure heaviness with catchy and powerful (but not too sweet or watered-down) choruses. Vocalist Marián "Mayo" Petranin is one hell of an amazing singer, sounding masculine with more of a traditional Heavy Metal tone. There's nothing exceptional or grandiose on Chapter IV but it's a solid, well-crafted Power Metal album with some balls. |
