Afterworld--Dark Side of Mind

Afterworld--Dark Side of Mind (1999/Noise) Rating--8.1

About 80% Rage('End of All Days'/'Black in Mind' era), with occasional glimpses of Stratovarius--- with the rough-and-gruff singing pushing it more towards the former. Lots of solid work, and a good power band to watch in the future, should the musical progress continue.
The heavy and chunky "Sixteen Innocent Children" is a top highlight, as is "The End Becomes". "Touch of Hate" is flowing, and heavily note driven.
There are a number of solid-fare tracks, including "To the Afterworld," "Lost in the Dark," "Power to Kill," "Virtual Angel," and "Prison Without Walls." "The Silence of the End" is a swift, keyboard- and-guitar instrumental, showing the band's versatility.
