Divinefire's second album is a bit of a comedown from their outstanding debut
GLORY THY NAME, and not just because there's no "Never Surrender", although an equal to that would have been nice. The songs don't jump out as much on this occasion. However, it's still a fine release, with powerful playing throughout, performed largely by Jani Stefanović (drums, guitars, keyboards), although he also brings in a few death grunts which, admittedly, aren't terribly intrusive, but are still unnecessary. Narnia's Christian Rivel again does a good job on leading vocals. The Christian lyrics are a plus for me, and help make this a good listen overall, even if it does fall a bit short of its predecessor.
And the concluding cover of Queen's "The Show Must Go On" is good too.
***1/2
