Axxis - Kingdom Of The Night (1989)


Well, Rate Your Music says they're power metal.
In truth, this German band's debut album sound like something more along the lines of 80s hair metal, with steady, rather than fast, metal.
However, it remains catchy and quite enjoyable, let down by the second half, which is not as melodious as the first, and Bernhard Weiss' annoying, nasally vocals, which has him sounding like Bob Dylan on helium.
Best songs include the opening "Living In A World" (the first song has a key change; how can I resist that??), "Young Souls" and "For A Song".
