Tierra Santa - Tierras de leyenda (2000)

I ordered this, Tierra Santa's third album, on eBay (as I do with nearly all power metal CDs I buy), but it never made it here. I got a refund, but since it was proving to be a bit tricky to pin down, I contented myself with listening to it on YouTube for now.
Which is probably a bit ironic, as I think I prefer this to the band's first two releases. I admit I'm sticking with Tierra Santa primarily because of their singing everything in Spanish, which is still a novelty for my music collection, but I haven't been bowled over by what they have done yet.  However, this one has some great guitar riffing, and songs like "Tierras de leyenda" and "La momia", both of which I really like probably more than what I have heard from the band so far.  As far as song topics are concerned, if titles like "Sodoma y Gomorra" and "La Torre de Babel" are anything to go by, they're concentrating on Old Testament sins.
This is still nothing great, but I have their next two or three albums in my possession, so I'll stick with these Spanish gentlemen for now and see how things go.
