I actually wanted to rate this higher than the two before, but there's just a bit of lazy writing with the likes of "Wolfcry" and "Rapid Fire". But there's so much more that's good, as warriors battle evil, like "In Thy Power", "Beast Slayer" ("I'm alone in this dark world, it's me, my guns and my trusted wolf/I am the Slayer, the chaser of unholy prey, I'm alone in this dark world." Woohoo!), "A Soldier's Tale" and the inevitable salute to heavy metal which concludes the record, the rousing "Eternal Flames Of Metal".
Speedy and catchy, it's true there's not a lot of variety here, but it's so passionate and grabbing, it's impossible not to like. Cryonic Temple really are one of the more underrated bands of the power metal genre, and deserve to be sought out.
***1/2
