I listen to a lot of different genres of metal and can safely say that this is unbelievably good symphonic metal. Superb melodies, amazing vocals and a real epic journey. Albums that i listen to from start to finish are very few and far between, but every time i listen to this, that is exactly what happens.
It is a massive step up from the previous two offerings from Fairyland and i cannot recommend this album highly enough. Absolutley awesome.
Top marks to the artist for designing the cover as well!
Fingers crossed for a new album soon and some UK tour dates!

This is by far the best by Fairyland yet. I have both "Of Wars in Osyrhia" and "Fall of an Empire" but I'm afraid to say that both the song writing creativity and production do not come near to this impressive release. The album is far more structured musically, it has strong choruses, catchy songs, and if I had but one criticism of it - it's that there should be more than 10 tracks. The songs which, in my opinion, bear the most quality are "Across the Endless Sea", "Assault on the Shore", "A Soldier's Letter" and "Score to a New Beginning". I listen to a lot of Symphonic Metal and Fairyland are one of the best bands I have heard in this genre, and what makes this album stick out from the others is that it edges away from being a mish-mash of a hundred different musical instruments playing all at the same time (at a ridiculously fast pace) to being well-structed, balanced and musically stylish, so that the verses and choruses are distinctively separate with very impressive, and somewhat epic, instrumental interludes and solos in the middle. If you're in to symphonic metal that sounds like it came out of a blockbuster action/fantasy movie, you can't go far wrong with this album and I would say that it is a must have for all symphonic metal fans.

I like a bit of symphonic metal and tried the first 2 Fairlyland albums but there was something missing for me. But third time up with a very different line up Fairyland have hit the jacktop. Less overlaid choruses and more guitar and keyboards amd more importantly better melodies and production.
There are samples to listen to here but I strongly recommend this for fans of Symphonic metal - doesn't get appreciably better than this.

I bought this on a whim and thought it was excellent. I bought the other two albums and was disappointed. Read more

Not bad, but not great either
As a previous reviewer said, these are somewhere between Symphony X and Sonata Artica. I'd go a little further and say there is a fair bit of Edenbridge (with male vocals) and... Read more
