Destiny


Stratovarius. I wouldn't say that is speed metal, but neither heavy metal, maybe something in between. It rocks! Great songs, melodic hooks, great arrangements.
Destiny, an epic song nearly 9 minutes, which gives title to the album. goood! now we are talking.
2 great ballads: venus in the morning and years go by. Power ballads, of course.
Anthem of the world is a great song too, but this one, to rock, strong and heavy.
Playing with fire is another favourite from mine, though this one is speed full ahead.

Great songs, great cover, but neither a classic or indispensable, but records like this remind you why do you like heavy metal, and why you can't stand most of prefabricated radio ballads.

7/10 nice to have
