Keldian 'Heaven's Gate' (Perris Records)

Although announced as an AOR style like Europe, Giant and Asia, the debut CD 'Heaven's gate' of the Norwegian band Keldian is a tad heavier and more closer to Melodic heavy rock/metal.
On the other hand, it is a very impressive release that sounds like a heavier TTEN meets Praying Mantis meets Pretty Maids. The band has a very good lead singer (Christer Andresen) and most of the 10 included songs are very strong uptempo melodic heavy rockers. The best ones are "Heart Of The Sun, "Requiem For The Light", Heaven's Gate" and "Beyond The Stars".

The album has been released on Perris Records and without a doubt, this is their strongest release in years! A real Melodic Hardrock / Metal masterpiece!
Also recommended to fans of Destynation, Dionysus, Nostradameus, The Dogma, etc.

Points: 8.6 out of 10
