Millenium--Angelfire

Millenium--Angelfire (1999/Frontiers) Rating--8.0

Good hard rock/melodic metal, reminding of Ten's recent, heavier work, as well as more-complex Emerald Rain. There are lots of riffy chops and runs, and good, melodic vocals--which show up especially well in the choruses. The lead man occasionally adds some extra bite to his voice, reminding of Radakka's singer.
A thick base punctuates opener "Shaman," while strong chords and stutter notes make "Beyond the Pain" a top track. The cutting "Until the End of Time" is another highlight, as is the heavy riffing of "Run".
Good, melodic tracks include "Heaven Sent," "Waiting For Godot," "Saving Grace," and the title track. "The Color of Night" is a heavy mover near disc's end, and the a-cappella "Remember" is a great vocal melody piece.
