Okay, so.. does EP mean something different in German than it does in English? When I think EP, I don't think almost 40 minutes of music. Yes, it's only 5 songs, but these are quality songs, and that's almost 5 hours in dog time.
ShadowStrike take their cues from some of the greats of the epic power metal genre, and they do it well. Epic songs, fantastic themes, and plenty of experimentation without going far enough to make it confusing and a mess, which happens far too often with epic power metal - one simply does not just try to copy Power Quest or Dragonforce. ShadowStrike sounds fresh and these guys are talented - listening to some of those guitar solos make my paws cramp from air soloing along with them.
Guinny? Do you have any thoughts on this disc?
