Bergfried’s debut full-length mostly abandons the medieval folk elements of the previous EPs, and goes for a ‘70s/’80s hard rock and even AOR sound, with beautiful guitar work of the great school of Rainbow, Scorpions, and KISS, along some super-catchy vocal choruses that sound almost ABBA-esque. The Meatloaf-like theatricality that permeates most songs is a gorgeous touch and makes for an album that is easy to listen to, and even easier to love.
