DUNGEON
– Resurrection
Limb Music
This particular work made a significant impact among
heavy/power metal fans when it was released. To be honest, back in 2005, I
didn't pay much attention to it at the time. However, if something is truly
good, you will eventually notice it. At least that's what happened to me with
this current release.
I don’t want to bore you with technical and pointless
analyses. After all, I am a fan of metal music, not a theoretical expert. So
when I evaluate something, I do it based on my aesthetic preference and the
feelings it evokes in me. Listening to this album, the first thing that comes
to mind is that it should serve as a lesson on how to create meaningful and
thrilling heavy/power metal.
Everything here is balanced—from the melodies to the
dynamic riffs and the absolutely precise rhythmic sections. Lord Tim’s
performance is both melodic and powerful. Of course, the high technical skill
of the band members shines through as they avoid pointless excesses and place
their abilities in the service of the composition.
This is an album that carries the influences of IRON
MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST and translates them into the band’s personal style.
There are also some euro power metal passages that harken back to early
HELLOWEEN, as well as epic elements. A track like “The Legend of Huma” isn’t
written every day and requires a great deal of imagination and musical ability
to blend your IRON MAIDEN influences with those of MANOWAR. While all the
compositions on the album are of high quality, I do have my favorites. Besides
the aforementioned track, I really enjoy “Resurrection,” “Judgement Day,” “Wake
Up,” “I Am Death,” among others.
It’s a great opportunity for you to discover them or, if
you already have, to give this release another listen. This is where my text
concludes.
