I wasn't that fond of their 2007 album when I tried it, not like Haunting Tales Of A Warriors Past, but hopefully the new one is good. I'll definitely be picking up Haunting Tales Of A Warriors Past at least; it was only five months ago that I wrote my review and actually said how great it would be to see it reissued. Big smile

Maybe the band saw your review, and thought "Hey, people really like our classic album, we should reissue it.". Probably not, but it would be pretty cool if that were the case. LOL

Yeah but I expect this was in the works for a while now.

Gonna cite this as my favorite metal subgenre, even though my favorite metal album is a thrash one.  I hav some pretty odd opinions about power metal, probably to an obsession.  I usually split them between traditional, symphonic, melodic and prog, but my number one's gonna surprise you more than any of those clickbait ads.

10. Falconer - Among Beggars and Thieves
9. Blind Guardian - Live
8. Wuthering Heights - Far From the Madding Crowd
7. Stormwarrior - At Foreign Shores
6. Sonata Arcitca - Silence
5. Rhapsody - Dawn of Victory
4. Galneryus - Under the Force of Courage
3. Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
2. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt. II
1. Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera
And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIGHT!

I consider myself a relatively big fan of Power metal, although I´m usually more interested in more extreme genres of metal, but I like both the original US power metal of the 80s (Queensrÿche, Fates Warning, Crimson Glory...etc.), the prog/power metal of the 90s, and the Euro power metal style of late 80s Helloween, and followers like Sonata Arctica and Statovarius.

I listened to Rhapsody a lot when they started releasing albums and I guess they are in the symphonic power metal camp. I´m probably not that interested in that style, although there are always exceptions, but I usually don´t appreciate orchestral keyboards/synths in my metal.
