This is the first chance I've heard Sweden's Dawn Of Silence. The band has just released their second album to date, a marvelous work entitled "Wicked Saint Or Righteous Sinner". The album is released on GHR Music and also comes by way of Spiritual Beast in Japan. This is a fantastic power metal outing with a hard rock touch. Vocalist Patrik Johansson is a dead ringer for Tobias Sammet and this album sounds somewhere between Edguy's "Rocket Ride" and "Tinnitus Sanctus". The twin guitar gallops are electric and the songs themselves are well put together and very diverse. This should appeal to fans of Edguy, Machine Men and Bruce Dickinson.
