│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Christianity and Heavy Metal have never really ║ │
│║ been the most obvious of bedfellows. Ever since ║ │
│║ the formation of the genre at the end of the ║ │
│║ 1960's, the relationship between Heavy Metal, in ║ │
│║ particular the more extreme variations of it, ║ │
│║ and the established Church, have been, for the ║ │
│║ most part, frosty. This doesn't mean that the ║ │
│║ two cannot come together though; There are ║ │
│║ countless great bands that have been playing ║ │
│║ great music that pays homage, rather than ║ │
│║ expressing outright hatred, to Christianity; ║ │
│║ TROUBLE, MORTIFICATION, HORDE, CRIMSON MOONLIGHT ║ │
│║ and DIVINEFIRE are the first bands that spring ║ │
│║ to mind for me every time I hear some closed ║ │
│║ minded moron quote that old, cringe-worthy and ║ │
│║ wholly incorrect adage about the Devil having ║ │
│║ the best tunes. Slovakian Power Metallers, ║ │
│║ SIGNUM REGIS, are one such band that are not ║ │
│║ only proving this phrase wrong, but are also ║ │
│║ using their knowledge of their faith to create ║ │
│║ great themes and concepts for their albums. ║ │
│║ Their last full length, for example, was based ║ │
│║ around Moses' liberation of the Israelites and ║ │
│║ their trials in the desert. This latest EP is ║ │
│║ full of the sort of classic Power Metal that ║ │
│║ many have grown to love, and it sounds amazing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This EP opens with a very solid, powerful ║ │
│║ opener, "Living Well". This is a great piece of ║ │
│║ Power Metal, with all the hallmarks of the ║ │
│║ genre; with a few harder aspects peppering the ║ │
│║ classic sound, which gives it it's own unique ║ │
│║ flavour. All this trackÆs elements work well ║ │
│║ together; it's really well mixed, and doesn't ║ │
│║ wander into the realms of cheesiness as some ║ │
│║ Power Metal has a tendency to, and above all, ║ │
│║ it's a great way to kick the record off. ║ │
│║ "Through the Desert, Through the Storm" treads ║ │
│║ down a much more straightforward Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ path, with razor sharp guitar lines, angelic ║ │
│║ vocals and some fairly interesting keyboard ║ │
│║ parts thrown in for good measure. The chorus is ║ │
│║ great, with some genuinely hair-raising parts ║ │
│║ that were just made for singing along to. "My ║ │
│║ Guide In The Night" is another really good piece ║ │
│║ of Power Metal with brilliant vocals and guitar ║ │
│║ work, punishing drums and some really cool ║ │
│║ keyboard sections. The fourth track, "Come and ║ │
│║ Take It", is perhaps the most straight forward ║ │
│║ Power Metal song on here, with plenty of great ║ │
│║ hooks to keep the listener interested. The ║ │
│║ penultimate track, a re-recorded version of "All ║ │
│║ Over the World", sounds even better for having ║ │
│║ been redone, and sits very well among the bands ║ │
│║ newer material. "Vengeance Liar", which closes ║ │
│║ this EP, is perhaps the strongest song on this ║ │
│║ record apart from "Through the Desert, Through ║ │
│║ the Storm", and has a really cool, classic Power ║ │
│║ Metal sound with some genuinely inspired guitar ║ │
│║ playing and really spectacular vocals to match. ║ │
│║ It sounds awesome, and is a very good high note ║ │
│║ to end this record on. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This EP is very good. Anyone who loves Power ║ │
│║ Metal will most likely enjoy this. This sounds ║ │
│║ like a band that have honed their style and ║ │
│║ perfected their image, now ready to take their ║ │
│║ music to the world at large. I'd highly ║ │
│║ recommend this EP, and indeed the rest of this ║ │
│║ bands awesome back catalogue, to anyone who ║ │
│║ loves, powerful, uplifting Metal music. ║ │
