I put this CD into my car stereo yesterday, and I can tell now, it will be months before I will take it out.

This band is definately a throw back. Touches of Manowar, Fifth Angel, Fates Warning and Helloweeen, combined with a 90's polish, make this band, the one band who could possibly revive heavy metal.

From the the opening track, Heeding The Call, this CD kicks you in the teeth. The songwriting is polished, the musicianship is first rate, and the production gives Legacy Of Kings a hard-edge feel. The drummer, Patrik Räfling, is simply amazing. His drums are clearly what drive this band.

The two ballads on this CD are solid, but I would have preferred two fast pace songs in their stead. All in all this is a GREAT CD. I could go on, but I need to go out and buy Glory To The Brave.
