Time Signature
Further than insane...
Genre: power metal
Yes, this is power metal, and it's the epic kind of power metal... and it's got keyboards and a slightly polished production. Still, Black Majesty manage to deliver power metal with beef and chili ketchup but no extra cheese.
Here, the guitar is everything. It's the dominant instrument, like it should be in all things metal. And there are plenty of twin lead guitar harmonies, which I have a weak spot for,
I really like how Black Majesty openly and unashamedly draw on good old traditional heavy metal like Maiden and Accept - just check out tracks like "End of Time" and the mighty "God of War", which, with its changes and twin leads, is my favorite track on "In Your Honour", and other noteworthy tracks are "Far Beyond", "Millennium" and "Further than Insane", all of which contain really catchy choruses and other hooklines,
Recommended as a Christmas present to all power metal fans.
