Red Moon--RealAudio

This Swedish power metal group is well known for its chord-chunky and bottom-heavy tunes. Vocalist Charles Rytkonen resembles Savatage's John Oliva at times; fans of straight-forward, dark-tinged metal will eat this up.
"Enter the Oblivion" is a strong opener, and "Red Moon" is solid throughout. The moody "Rumours of Rain" has a nice pickup midway through, while all of "Salute the Sage," "Excalibur," and the deliberate "Wonderland" leave their marks.
