This band or project includes the vocal talents of G\u00f6ran Edman (ex. YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), Mark Boals (ex. YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), and Carsten Lizard\u201d Schoulz (EVIDENCE ONE). But the band leader is a one Boguslaw Balcerak, a pole who started playing as late as at 16. Things seems to have moved rapidly in Warsaw since then but the difficult task of finding a suitable vocalist delayed them from 2007 onwards. The chosen chance invitation vocalists are apparently Boguslaw\u00b4s own favorites. To enhance their opportunities they got Andy LaRocque to master the album. The rest of the band is made up of bassists Kamil Wyzi and Tomek \u201cZawad\u201d Dybalski, drummer Marcin \u201cKanclerz\u201d Kwasny and keyboard player Lukasz Dybalski. Everything is described as killer, let\u00b4s check it out.<\/p>\n
The declaration of plans, opener \u201cAnte Bellum Overture\u201d positively screams out that this will be neoclassical with a legion of guitar notes sprayed out. Carsten takes the mike in most of the tracks, starting with the title track. It is simply varied and has a reasonable refrain. G\u00f6ran and Mark \u201cdebut\u201d with \u201cGrave of Love\u201d and \u201cBard\u00b4s Tale respectively. Why they use a vocal experiment with a vocalist like G\u00f6ran is a mystery but the song works fine, as goes for the well-arranged effort of Mark\u00b4s. But the precise masterpieces are not present. They get things rolling in \u201cWarrior\u00b4s Moon\u201d, with Carsten on vocals, easy listening with a great arrangement and a refrain that lingers. The guitar frenzied almost pompous style, the occasional lack of a working refrain (e.g. \u201cBehind the Walls of Sadness\u201d) or the awful vocals by Carsten (a surprise) in \u201cValley of the Dead\u201d makes this look like hasty work, not like a project belated since 2007. The final track, \u201cThe healing hands of Destruction\u201d features all three vocalists. It also sums up the album. They don\u00b4t really go all the way, it sounds overly complicated in spite of the best intentions. Why not Leave Yngwie to his own mishaps and try a slightly different route next time? <\/p>\n
