│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The project type album is now within grasp given ║ │
│║ the tight nature of studio budgets and the wide ║ │
│║ talent pool available through the internet. ║ │
│║ Polish guitarist Boguslaw Balcerak started this ║ │
│║ Power Metal outfit BOGUSLAW BALCERAKÆS CRYLORD 5 ║ │
│║ years ago in 2009, releasing the first album ║ │
│║ ôBlood of the Prophetsö in 2011 to a decent ║ │
│║ response in terms of written reviews. The follow ║ │
│║ up ôGates of Valhallaö contains many of the same ║ │
│║ guest vocals that appeared on the previous ║ │
│║ effort, along with MASTERPLAN/ AT VANCE vocalist ║ │
│║ Rick Altzi and TEMPLE OF SIN singer Ricky ║ │
│║ Wychowaniec offering two more melodic ║ │
│║ perspectives. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Ultimately the material is in the neo-classical ║ │
│║ power metal mold, certainly favoring those who ║ │
│║ love SYMPHONY X and especially anything related ║ │
│║ to YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. This means high octane ║ │
│║ screams, thunderous chops, and of course ║ │
│║ shredding that can transpose the best of Bach, ║ │
│║ Beethoven, and Paganini in one. G÷ran handles ║ │
│║ the vocals through charm and grace on the ballad ║ │
│║ ôLost Againö û a 7:35 epic that should have many ║ │
│║ hearts racing as Fererico and Boguslaw trade off ║ │
│║ beautiful, emotional-oriented keyboard/ guitar ║ │
│║ breaks. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Carsten handles a lot of the mid-tempo to ║ │
│║ slightly faster arrangements, coming out the ║ │
│║ gate swinging on the cruising opener ôPassage to ║ │
│║ the Other Sideö and reaching killer high ║ │
│║ sustaining notes for that chorus, while also ║ │
│║ captivating in that darker, mystical mode for ║ │
│║ another favorite ôDeadnight Serenadeö. For a ║ │
│║ change of pace it is refreshing to hear former ║ │
│║ YNGWIE singer Marc Boals handle a more ║ │
│║ straightforward, melodic metal piece like ôWe ║ │
│║ Came to Rockö û as I think this song is just ║ │
│║ addictive in a good time way, the riff and ║ │
│║ groove melding as one in that late 80Æs / early ║ │
│║ 90Æs manner while Boguslaw again delivers ║ │
│║ through smoldering finger tricks and licks the ║ │
│║ passion and fury of this style. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ These 10 songs are not mere exercises in show- ║ │
│║ off Power Metal û Boguslaw and his compatriots ║ │
│║ perform in a solid songwriting format where ║ │
│║ harmonies, melodies, hooks, and a slight ║ │
│║ ægroove/tempoÆ factor matter û but you will get ║ │
│║ the chance to hear fantastic drumming, bass ║ │
│║ work, and keyboard displays. The Rick Altzi sung ║ │
│║ ôJudgment Dayö and ôPompeiiö are two numbers to ║ │
│║ really key on musically, both impressive in ║ │
│║ terms of pacing, technique, and comfortable ║ │
│║ transitions and instrumental expertise that show ║ │
│║ these players know their neo-classical power ║ │
│║ metal through and through. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A dramatic improvement to my ears, ôGates of ║ │
│║ Valhallaö should ensure neo-classical oriented ║ │
│║ Power Metal mavens another record to champion in ║ │
│║ 2014. ║ │
