I’m
not familiar with Mystic Prophecy’s earlier albums, so I can’t
compare them to their new release “Never Ending”.
What do we have here? - Uptempo heavier-than-most,
80’s-inspired power metal with a great production. Yes ... this
album is pretty heavy. The guitars sounds great. The riffs here are as
METAL as they can be, sometimes verging on thrash. At
first, I was a little disappointed with this album, but numerous
listens changed my mind about it. There
are some really great tracks here. Take a listen to: “Burning
Bridges”, “Time Will Tell” and “In Hell”, especially,
“In Hell” is a great track ... fast, but at the same time heavy as
Hell! I can name a few more standout tracks: “Wings Of Eternity” and “Dead Moon Rising” with machine-gun sounding guitars. There are some mediocre tracks as well ... 2 or 3 in my book. “Never
Ending” is a good album, not great, but good. I'm
sure this album will find a home among many traditional Heavy Metal
and Power metal enthusiast's. Recommended tracks: “Burning Bridges”, “Time Will Tell”, “In Hell” and “Wings Of Eternity” |
