Highlord - Breath Of Eternity (2002)

Highlord's debut album HEIR OF POWER was terrible, while their second, WHEN THE AURORA FALLS... was excellent, so where does this third release fit?
Somewhere in the middle.
It's certainly better than HEIR, with such songs as "The Dreamer And The Deep Ocean" and, in particular, "Back From Hell", proving to be worthy, and Alessandro Muscio's atmospheric keyboards are effective throughout, but there's not as much material that grabs, making this a quite good, but slightly disappointing release.
