Angelic Warlord - Northern Flame

Great review of their album.  I've had the album for a few years now and quite often I pop it in the CD player and give it a spin.  Anyone else got this?

Thanks- glad that you like the review.  I anticipate listening to the album quite frequently in the future (it is definitely deserving of the 90% grade).

This is one of those bands that I haven't really listened to beyond maybe one song, but I should.
I just keep thinking they are going to be too progressive or to power-metally for me to enjoy.  I do find this portion of Andy's review hilarious though.

...Or perhaps it attributes to the clueless reviewer who either was not paying attention or dismissed the band without second thought?  Latter is more than likely the case due to the fact A) that the group has a name like Northern Flame (the logo gives it away), and B) it hails from Finland (Vaasa to be exact), I disregarded it as another random hang-out-in-the-cold-dark-woods-and-sacrifice-cute-furry-animals extreme metal band.
Obviously, nothing could be further from the truth in that this ‘clueless reviewer’ overlooked a potential album of the year candidate....

The lesson learned is not to judge a book by its cover... 

I think if you like Theocracy then Northern Flame should be your cup of tea.  Here is a link to the lyric video to the track "Starlit Sky":

I spent a bit of time listening to 5 of the tracks from their album and I think I was probably right in my assessment.  Very talented group, but not quite commercial enough for my finicky musical palette. 

It's a pretty good album with a couple really great songs, though I don't find myself listening to it a whole ton.  I think they're working on new material.
