Unlike a previous reviewer, this is definitely not the album to choose if you are a first time buyer of Astral Doors.
Start with their classic "Evil Is Forever", then "Of The Son And The Father" and finally "New Revelation" - in that order, you will not be disappointed. Basically, forget the rest!
With regard to their latest offering, I was eagerly anticipating this new album. However, and I hate to say it, I am disappointed - and it upsets me to say this, as I know they can do a lot better.
All the songs are just OK, with possibly the exception of "Blood River",which is the stand out track.
I've listened and listened to try and get into this, but it's simply not happening.
This is a million miles from the albums I have mentioned above.
Astral Doors are a refreshing new metal band possessing one of the best ever rock vocalists in Nils Johansson (more akin to Coverdale than Dio, especially on the earlier albums).
Please please take my advice - buy "Evil Is Forever" and you will be hooked on this band.
The next album they make will be make or break for them - here's hoping.

This is typical stuff from Astral Doors, so if you liked any of their previous releases you are sure to find several songs to enjoy here.
If you have not heard Astral Doors before and are a fan of Dio, 80s heavy metal or modern power metal with a hard rock element to it, then this is surely a band you have to try. The singer's voice is remarkably similar to Dio's, at least in timbre and feeling, if not in range. "Requiem of Time" is just as good a starting place to discover this band as any other of their albums.
With fifteen songs this release is sure to contain some which are not as good as others, and it is fair to say that the album may have benefited by leaving a few songs out (e.g. nos 3, 5, 10, 13). There are no really bad songs, though, and at least 3-4 are exceptionally good, such as "Call of the Wild", with its excellent riff, or "Blood River", with a highly memorable melody in the chorus. "Metal DJ" is a lively rocker, paying tribute to some great bands of old. There is nothing remotely ground-breaking or original here, but the band definitely sounds tight and Mr Johansson is a real pleasure to listen to on all the songs, even the ones someone might be tempted to regard as fillers.
