Kings of Modesty
Hell or Highwater
Rating
Style: Melodic Metal
Release date: September 25th 2009
 

Debut album from Finnish Kings of Modesty falls nicely in line with numerous other first class melodic metal acts from Finland. Placing themselves somewhere in between Leverage, Brother Firetribe and Sonata Arctica they present their blend like pros and convincingly.

Melodic metal with plenty of powerful songs, nice arrangements, pounding drums, blistering guitar riffs and leads, solid keyboard parts and an above average vocalist are the ingredients Kings of Modesty has put out for us to judge. Not earth shattering nor unique and groundbreaking in any, just very well done and solid as a rock! Best moments are the powerful and fast tracks like: "Never Touched the Rainbow", "Hourglass" and "Hell or Highwater", while some of the more melodic stuff do not reach the same level.

The Finnish melodic metal scene has yet another fine gem to be reckoned with, and I am sure we will hear a lot from these guys in the time to come...
