Belated by membership changes this album sports the lineup of Chity and original bassist Pierre-Emmanuel P\u00e9lisson, plus new recruits guitarists Nicklaus Bergen and Oliver Marmann and RED CIRCUIT drummer Michael Stein. Their aim is to put out melodic power metal that can compete with anyone, and, albeit in their own way, I believe they can achieve that. <\/p>\n<p>The intro \u201cAazis\u201d is an opener among many, but the title track hints at bigger things. Among their influences is something from the jungle, which is augmented by a fine arrangement and a sensible force. The refrain of \u201cLand in Flames\u201d is spot-on, and \u201cArchangel\u201d is metal in the finest and most sophisticated form. They do put in a bit of change with \u201cEvil Eye\u201d, which includes a different pace and something that briefly resembles growl. The flattest moment is the tepid \u201cHell Awaiting\u201d which they should have left out. But next up is the perfect \u201cTrue Believer\u201d with its stubborn refrain and almost contagious melody. The rest is actually four to five star material too. The part weighing over in favor of the highest mar is the fact that they dare to be different. The ending of the Sri Lanka National cricket team \u201cBelieving the Dream\u201d and the almost Lion King friendly \u201cDreams of Fire (We Unite as One)\u201d hints at musicianship enough for more genres and a band full of ideas. This is one of the most enjoyable releases of 2012, and you simply can\u00b4t afford to be without it!<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nAazis<br \/>\nCalling the Gods<br \/>\nThe Land in Flames<br \/>\nArchangel<br \/>\nEvil Eye<br \/>\nHell Awaiting<br \/>\nTrue Believer<br \/>\nReunite<br \/>\nThe Supernatural Virtue<br \/>\nNew World<\/p>\n<p>Bonus Tracks<br \/>\nSpirit in the Wind<br \/>\nBelieving the Dream<br \/>\nDreams of Fire (We Unite as One)<br \/>\nBonus Video Clip<br \/>\nThe Land of Flames<\/p>\n<p>www.limb-music.com www.myspace.com\/civilizationone <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limb Music\/Sound Pollution Having been around since 2006 CIVILIZATION ONE, formed by vocalist Chitral \u201cChity\u201d Somapala, have just gotten round to releasing their second album.
