Warthur
The third Domine album, Stormbringer Ruler, sees the band drift in a much more typical power metal direction. In particular, they seem to be influenced by the symphonic-tinged sound of fellow Italian power metal warriors Rhapsody (or Rhapsody of Fire, as they would come to be known subsequently), and seem to be deliberately modifying their sound to be a bit more in line with the more famous band's style. This is a shame, because I quite liked their first two albums' darker, edgier take on power metal, whereas this time around they seem (musically speaking, at least) to be going for a much more typical and less interesting power metal approach.
