Warthur
This second Pyramaze album shows a substantial improvement over the first. It's not so much that anything's changed, mind - we're still dealing with prog-influenced power metal with fantastical themes that make you think that the band are just narrating their Dungeons & Dragons games to music, and that's not exactly the sort of album power metal listeners haven't heard before.

But there's an extra bit of polish, a certain extra tightness to the work here, the band gelling just a bit better and wrangling just a little more out of the studio and seeming just a bit more comfortable in their own skin. The end result is a very entertaining piece which won't blow anyone's mind, but is at least a satisfying listen worth more than one spin.
