Gods Of Fire takes the traditional power metal route with "Wrath
Of The Gods". Lead vocalist Prometheus sounds like a
lower-ranged cross between Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson, thus
lending itself perfectly for this style of music. His
voice does take some getting used to as he uses various ranges
and subtle nuances that are often overlooked these days by most
vocalists.
"City Of Gold" possesses elements of early (John Arch) Fates
Warning and mid period Iron Maiden. All the tracks clock
in at over 5 minutes long allowing for sufficient song structure
building and soloing. Blood Sacrifice and Saucy Jack keep
their guitars tuned towards traditional power metal. "The Long Walk"
is Gods Of Fire epic track. Timing in at almost 10
minutes, the track criss-crosses the varying ranges of speed and
emotion. Definitely, the stellar standout track on the
disc.
Wrath Of The Gods is not as immediate and over-produced as your
typical 00's power metal release. Gods Of Fire have
crafted a release that is not "paint-by-the-numbers" music so to
speak. Multiple listens unlocked the vault to this dynamic
disc and reward the listener with a powerful American epic metal
album.
