Sons of Riddermark http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=155792026 (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=155792026 It was only last year when Battlelore released perhaps their most complete album yet in Evernight. Fast forward to this year and it brings forth the band's fifth effort in The Last Alliance. There are some changes in the way the music is played, but the results seem to be the same. In fact, it may just be slightly better. The Last Alliance is more or less, a continuation of Evernight in that it takes some of what made the previous effort successful and decided to expand on it. The vocal exchange between Kaisa Jouhki and Tommi Mykkanen is a display in continued chemistry, as both vocalists have grown more comfortable working together. Mykkanen's vocals also show more range, as it seems that his clean vocals are being put on display this time around. Keyboards are actually a little more prominent, especially on songs such as Exile the Daystar and Awakening. The guitar work has gotten better, as Daughter of the Sun shows with some really good guitar melodies. The attention to detail is amazing, a fact made even more evident with the production work of noted producer Dan Swano. One difference between Evernight and The Last Alliance is that while Evernight was epic in the dark sense, The Last Alliance shows a little more fire, so to speak. It is actually a little more heroic in its atmosphere and the music adapts to that idea well. There really isn't much to pick at, even if it's strictly for review purposes. Battlelore had its breakthrough album with Evernight and it seems that they want to keep the momentum going. With The Last Alliance, that momentum might just keep going for a little while longer. It is rare for a band to turn in two great efforts in a row, but somehow, Battlelore is one of those few. If they can learn from this album, then the results for their next album may just turn out to be like The Last Alliance, if not better. A definite contender for any top ten list for 2008 |
