CD Review: Power Paladin - With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel

 Genre : Power Metal

Iceland 2022


This band sounds very much how you'd expect a band called Power Paladin and an album called "With The Magic of Windfyre Steel" would sound; catchy,  power metal with big choruses and lots of tempo. 

Having said that, Power Paladin also manage to stick out from the 1001 Rhapsody clones out there by virtue of  having a better vocalist than most, a knack for melody and dynamics,  and remembering to give each song a bit of variation.

Also, being from Iceland. Not somewhere normally associated with Power Metal.   

Stand out track is the opener "Kraven the Hunter"  with it's earworm chorus and strategic "Woah-ohs" but there's no weak tracks here. 

If you like this sort of thing, Power Paladin are worth your time.  If you don't know whether you like this sort of thing, well you might dig it.
