Domine - Stormbringer Ruler - The Legend Of The Power Supreme (2001)

So far, I've thought I should enjoy Domine more than I do, but this, their third album, is certainly their best to date. They continue their "Chronicles Of The Black Sword" saga in grandiose, sweeping style, and there are enjoyable pieces, like "Horn Of Fate" and the dramatic conclusion, "Dawn Of A New Day - The Chronicle Of The Black Sword, The End Of An Era Part 4", although it's a bit disappointing that the song "The Ride Of The Valkyries", while having a snippet of that great Wagner classical piece, doesn't do more with it, considering the title.
In any event, this is really good power metal; typical in many ways, and not amongst the best, but certainly worthy of a fan's time.
