US metal is still alive , the US Power Metal has a solid future especially with bands such as Beyond Fallen. The album is very close to perfection. Great RIFFS, Melodic, Dynamic and Fast. Beyond Fallen are a very interesting band based in US Northeastern Pennsylvania. This is the 3rd release from the band. they have already released a debut EP in 2004, the Lost in shoadows album in 2005. and now they have released the MINDFIRE which now is under a record label. It took me a while to review this album because the cd was on the player for a long time. The band reminded me some of the bands which attracted me to metal such as ICED EARTH, METALLICA and many more. Riffs and Solos, Melodies, Powerful and Dynamic Songs, and a unique vocalist which matches perfectly with the bands music, all with perfect production and attention to the details The Album begins with the Act of War (one of the highlights), a Classic intro songs which prepares you from what will follow. Liked the fast rhythm and fast Guitar Solo. The Second and third songs Blood on the Ic and The enemy of the Mind continue where the first left as, at a similar pace an rhythum. The fourth Song Closer to the End is one more of the Highlights of the album and very different that the first 3 songs. It starts in a ballad style with acoustic guitars and backing solos and during the refrain the power goes up, after 3.30minutes the perfect solo start. The fifth song (Instrumental) fields of Honor shows the virtues and the capabilities of the members of Beyond Fallen, Listen to it and you will understand what I mean. This shows how good musicians they are. The Guitar, Bass, Drums are Perfect.; The instrumental served its purpose as intro to the MINDFIRE Song which is another excellent sample of power metal of Beyond Fallen. The Ιillusion of fire (9) is a faster song compared to the others. The final song BOMB INSIDE YOU HEAD is The ideal way to close an album like that. And definitely the BEST MOMENT OF THE ALBUM. The band confirm that they will appear on the Headbanger's Open Air Festival 2007 July 13, 2007 in GERMANY. I hope they will arrange to appear in other European countries also. Do your self a favour and buy the album, you support a true metal band and also to add another great album to your collection!!!
