Album Description
Available in:
"Reign of Gold" is the sixth full length studio album from German power metal band Human Fortress, released December 6th, 2019 through AFM Records GmbH.
User Album Review
Reign of Gold is a professionally done Euro-power metal outing with a slight symphonic, Kamelot-esque element, led by Gus Monsanto (ex-Adagio, ex-Revolution Renaissance), a veteran vocalist with proven ability. The problem is that the music is very pedestrian and generic at its core. Early cut “Thunder” is a “highlight” of sorts, sounding somewhat exuberant and respectable, with a slightly catchy refrain and some Maiden-esque harmonies, and the title track is by-the-numbers power with another kinda-sorta memorable chorus. You won’t need to turn them off, but you likely won’t need to spin them again either. The album’s pacing poses additional issue as the mid-section consists of not one, not two, but three consecutive mid-tempo pieces and/or ballads. While “Lucifer’s Waltz” is solid, meaty and reminds me of Highland Glory, fellow plodder “Bullet of Betrayal” fares less well and and power ballad “Shining Light” adds to the slump, reducing the album’s energy quotient to a lethargic crawl.
Reign of Gold is overly restrained, largely forgettable power metal, but I’ve heard worse, and if you’re hard up for a power fix, your mileage may vary slightly. For my part I’ll be returning to the time when Human Fortress was money.
