Now this is more like it. Nostradameus' second album is a winner, both because of the music and the story. The latter is pretty straight forward, that of an evil prophet who kills a king, and his princely son who takes an army to avenge him. But it's nice to have one of these concept pieces which is easy to follow, helped by lyrics that are easy to read! Too many metal CDs are released with horrible fonts, colours and/or backgrounds, making the words incredibly hard to follow.
The music, which is often fast and furious, starts of wonderfully, with the likes of "Hymn To Theese Lands", "Evil Prophecies" and "Murder". What follows can't quite match them, but it's still good enough, and the story remains a definite plus.
The Prophet Of Evil is certainly not the best music power metal has to offer, but it is up in the higher bracket.
