User Album Review
From start to finish 'Chained' has a steady and bright, though sometimes predictable, melodic metal pace. The hallmarks of this recording are two-fold. First, Nico Adamsen's vocals are purely remarkable: steady, strong and versatile. He has definitely found his calling. Take note of his work on 'Waves Of War,' 'Shadow Rider' and 'The Fire Of Hades.' Secondly, following the first point, the vocal arrangements are thoroughly captivating as on 'Dying In The Rain' and the aforementioned 'Waves Of War.' Kudos should also go to a very agile rhythm section and, where given the opportunity to shine, the crisp guitar work. 'Shadow Rider,' 'Waves Of War' and 'Lonely Ball Of Fate' are quite exemplary and thrilling.
With this said, of greater importance, and what's more impressive, is how well this unit performs together. Crystal Eyes is truly a case where the sum has become greater than the individual parts, a very good thing. --- dangerdog.com
