Dragonland - Holy War (2002)

Sorry, Dragonland just aren't doing it for me.
Their debut, THE BATTLE OF THE IVORY PLAINS, was reasonable at best, and this second release again has all the elements of good power metal - the band's name, fantasy topics (how can you go wrong with titles like "Majesty Of The Mithril Mountains" and "Through Elven Woods And Dwarven Mines"?), plenty of speed and vigorous playing - but the material is just so forgettable. The title song is reasonable, but the rest comes and goes as if it was never there in the first place.
A pity, because I really want to like this group more.
