│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Norwegian band GUARDIANS OF TIME was formed ║ │
│║ in late 90Æs, in the superb southern town of ║ │
│║ Kristiansand by a bunch of young musicians ║ │
│║ coming from the extreme Metal scene in order to ║ │
│║ paid their dues to the more traditional and ║ │
│║ Melodic Power Metal music! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Their debut album ôEdge of Tomorrowö (2001) and ║ │
│║ its subsequent follower ôMachines of Mental ║ │
│║ Designö in 2004, were successfully published ║ │
│║ both received some good acclaim and positive ║ │
│║ reviews in our community, and the band had since ║ │
│║ then gained some loyal legions of fans all over ║ │
│║ the globeà From Germany up to Japan and even ║ │
│║ present in the mighty Brazil. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The main songwriters and stalwarts of the band, ║ │
│║ the genius vocalist Bernt Fjellestad and Paul ║ │
│║ Olsen on Guitars decided to revitalize the band, ║ │
│║ in 2011 the album "A Beautiful Atrocity" was a ║ │
│║ triumphal return after years of silence, with a ║ │
│║ new line-up on board and a fresh contemporary ║ │
│║ Progressive edge, "A Beautiful Atrocity" was ║ │
│║ released with fantastic critical response from ║ │
│║ the press and the equally ecstatic in the fans ║ │
│║ feedbacksà Of course, now itÆs time for the ║ │
│║ fourth studio full-length offer, GUARDIANS OF ║ │
│║ TIME had signed a new deal with Wormholedeath ║ │
│║ Records, they are about to release ôRage And ║ │
│║ Fireö and this is my analysis for this piece of ║ │
│║ High-octane screaming Power Metal in the amazing ║ │
│║ Nordic Traditionà Clearly a favorable review! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The fast double-kick drums patterns, the sharp ║ │
│║ riffage in total frenzy development, the ║ │
│║ bombastic choir and orchestral pumping ║ │
│║ arrangements but most of all the soaring vocals ║ │
│║ of Bernt Fjellestad are the most obviously ║ │
│║ memorable and emblematic elements of such a ║ │
│║ dense slab of Euro Power Metal with a strong ║ │
│║ Melodic tendency and a constant blazing barrage ║ │
│║ of galvanized harmonies! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The devoted members of GUARDIANS OF TIME are ║ │
│║ more than competent and even could be tagged as ║ │
│║ skilled players, with a clear focus in ║ │
│║ Metallizing their sound to the max and providing ║ │
│║ a lot of faith in noble art of Steel, the solid ║ │
│║ foundations are built by a talented section and ║ │
│║ the whole sound is completed in a total mastery ║ │
│║ by a wall of guitarz and updated by the full ║ │
│║ ultra high screams in a stainless method similar ║ │
│║ to GAMMA RAY/PRIMAL FEAR and BLACKWELDER and ║ │
│║ their iconic bold tone! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After a cleverly orchestrated in a symphonic ║ │
│║ method intro (ôPraeludium in Ferrum Pectoreö) ║ │
│║ ,öIron Heartö is a full-blown majestic Speed ║ │
│║ Metal attack, a guitar and drums assault, ║ │
│║ striking straight to your chest. With the ║ │
│║ addition of the heterogenic ôEmpireö there is no ║ │
│║ doubt about the Metallic dedication and the ║ │
│║ subtly of ôRage And Fireö as an everlasting ║ │
│║ album, indeed a superb songwriting ║ │
│║ demonstration, before leading once again to a ║ │
│║ flurry of intense High-pitch Power Metal ║ │
│║ injection (ôCoreö/öPrimevilö or ôTomorrow Never ║ │
│║ Comesö) and a few anthemic numbers like ôSave ║ │
│║ Meö, the closing title track and ôEuphoriaö! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Now it seems like GUARDIANS OF TIME are once ║ │
│║ again back to their HM roots and sticking to it, ║ │
│║ forgetting about the modern elements present in ║ │
│║ their third album ôA Beautiful Atrocityö or the ║ │
│║ too complex concepts, in the profit of a ║ │
│║ galloping demented pace with some great ║ │
│║ parameters in concordance with the Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ fashion as their only goal. Faithfullin a very ║ │
│║ solid orthodoxy yet ambitious and progressive, ║ │
│║ but carefully keeping good care of staying away ║ │
│║ from the cheesy side of the Happy Metal mode! ║ │
