Metalium - Demons Of Insanity: Chapter Five (2005)

Metalium's fifth album yet again starts with a ripping piece (after the spoken introduction), "Power Of Time", before settling down to pretty standard heavy metal. The Shouting Choir (as it's credited here) wins me over every time, making such songs as "Destiny" and the roaring concluding "One By One" worthwhile, and the whole record is loud, pounding and furious, but fourteen songs are too many, and it's really not anything particularly exceptional overall.
If Metalium could take the first songs of their albums, and put them together as one record, maybe then we'd have a classic.
