│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Nostradameus has released 5 cd since 2000, none ║ │
│║ of which has received any real critical acclaim. ║ │
│║ As for a power metal fan, I find this to be just ║ │
│║ a little bit unfair. The thoughtfulness of the ║ │
│║ lyrics, and level of technical and creative ║ │
│║ writing seems to go without mention. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Third Prophecy is the third release and sees ║ │
│║ some real world issues and fantasy arise in the ║ │
│║ lyric content. There are songs that range from ║ │
│║ WWII to foreseeing the future. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Some of the better songs on this are Far to ║ │
│║ Strong, If We Believe, and Revenge is Mine ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Far to Strong is a great opener track, strong ║ │
│║ lyrics, dual vocals for the chorus, and not to ║ │
│║ mention some very nice guitar work. Jake FredΘn ║ │
│║ is the guitarist for Nostadameus and gets nearly ║ │
│║ no credit in the metal world. His solo in Far to ║ │
│║ Strong is something that could rival even the ║ │
│║ most accomplished power metal guitarists. Far to ║ │
│║ Strong in terms of lyrics is about one ║ │
│║ individual whose knows his limitless power and ║ │
│║ tells of the ravage and pestilence he can rain ║ │
│║ down upon the heads of his enemies. This song in ║ │
│║ particular has the best lyrics. How often does a ║ │
│║ band write about the power of ones self instead ║ │
│║ others? ItÆs empowering to hear how one can ║ │
│║ lament his own strength, yet embrace it. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If We Believe has some truly virtuoso like ║ │
│║ guitar work from Jake FredΘn. And Very well done ║ │
│║ vocals from Freddy Persson. This song contains ║ │
│║ my favorite solo on the album. Not to fast or ║ │
│║ too slow, and it changes tempo midway through to ║ │
│║ a great heavy metal riff thatÆs more up-tempo. ║ │
│║ The lyrics on this song are about a society who ║ │
│║ takes for granted all that they have been given, ║ │
│║ and are far to blind to see how much turmoil ║ │
│║ they are in. But if the hopes and dreams of the ║ │
│║ righteous stay true, the society will be saved. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Revenge is Mine is overall the best song on the ║ │
│║ album, mainly because itÆs very well rounded and ║ │
│║ has the best vocal performance on The Third ║ │
│║ Prophecy. The lyrics on this one are manacling ║ │
│║ poetic. Straight out of a movie where one man ║ │
│║ leads a rebellion against a leader who thinks ║ │
│║ little of him. This lowly warrior arises above ║ │
│║ it all to defeat his rival and cast his ║ │
│║ judgment, truly amazing and very power metal ║ │
│║ savvy. Musically itÆs once again mind-blowing. ║ │
│║ All around there is top-level ability all ║ │
│║ around. This song doesnÆt disappoint at all. The ║ │
│║ vocals are the best because they make use of the ║ │
│║ dual vocals and multi-layering. They are strong ║ │
│║ and powerful. The rhythm gallops along like your ║ │
│║ right there with band, and better yet itÆs a ║ │
│║ song that clocks in at 4:02 so its not to long ║ │
│║ or to short, its perfect all around. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This band deserves a lot more credit than they ║ │
│║ do, each release progressively strays away from ║ │
│║ melodic power metal and more towards heavy ║ │
│║ metal, and this release is in-between so you get ║ │
│║ the best of both worlds from this band. Sit back ║ │
│║ and enjoy a great power metal album. ║ │
