Forgotten Tales – All The Sinners

Finally Forgotten tales are back with their new album 'All the Sinners'. I really like 'The Promise' so I was expecting good power metal and that's exactly what I got. Those songs are very melodic, Epic and majestic as hell! The beautiful vocals of Sonia are again one of the positive points on the records. The guitar work is strong and even if it may look simple, some riff are well written and looks like lead guitars! The solos are also well done! Some tracks like 'March for freedom' are pure Epic Power Metal anthem! One their first record, the ballad Far Away caught my attention and this time for those who like, you got 'Wind oh wind' that have an amazing melodie. Pure beauty! Also the 9 minute track 'Three wishes' is magic! I really like the flute and every aspects of this track. The catchy chorus of 'fairytales' will definitly stick in your head! The only thing that bugs me with the album is the production. Not that it sounds horrible (far from that!), but for a band of this caliber, they needed a way better production then that! More volume, a heavier guitar sounds,etc..They need that for their next album! But don't get me wrong, this is an album filled with amazing melodies that every power metal fans should like! A good comeback!

Note : 8,5/10
