Legacy of Kings

Polished twin-guitar harmonies and soaring anthems of steel. The definitive blueprint for the late-nineties European power metal revival.

It's the musical equivalent of winning a sword fight on top of a mountain.

Unapologetically heroic and triumphant energy that feels like a victory lap for traditional heavy metal.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive opening gallop of Heeding the Call that immediately sets the high-stakes heroic tone.

The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmony during the climax of the title track's chorus.

The transition from the somber piano intro to the heavy power chords on the ballad The Fallen One.
