Freedom Call – Legend of the Shadowking: Review

The German power metal band, Freedom Call, released their sixth studio album on January 29, 2010 entitled Legend of the Shadowking. Although the band has been around for over a decade, this is the first of their albums which I’ve heard. After discovering that a Gamma Ray member was in the band (Dan Zimmerman, drums), I had a rush of excitement and an inflation of expectations. I listened to it once yesterday and found myself unable to go through a second time. Though my words exaggerate my true feelings, it’s still not great.
