Re the Messiah's Kiss................as discussed with Chad in album thread.
I'd say it's pretty cliche "true metal"/power metal - heavily influenced by Accept/Primal Fear/Judas Priest/Running Wild with a huge metal crunch. I get tired of a lot of this stuff pretty quick - heard it all before mostly. This'll be something I'll listen to only very occasionally - I'd rather listen to Running Wild - but I'd rate it as pretty good for what it is.
Just look at the track titles
1. The Rising 01:05
2. Light in the Black 03:28
3. Reign of Fire 04:31
4. Dream Evil 03:45
5. Blood, Sweat & Tears 03:12
6. Thunderball 04:04
7. Prayer for the Dying 03:14
8. Night Comes Down 05:08
9. Mortal Sin 04:04
10. Final Warning 05:08
11. Pride & Glory 03:41
12. Blood of the Kings
Death to false metal
Here's a track to sample (the best on the album IMO)
