Breitenhold is a side-project of Ced
from Rocka Rollas, and this is the first album. Musically, its
basically so similar to the main band that you almost wonder why it
is being released under a different name. Maybe it's an excuse to get
as much songs out as possible, and to not be forced to throw them
away?
Anyway, since the new Rocka
Rollas-album is so damn brilliant, it's hard to see any problem with
an additional album of equally sounding music. Since they both were
released at the same time, it comes naturally that you compare them a
lot to each other, and I do find The Road To Destruction stronger
than this. It takes a bit longer to get into as well, but once you've
given it a few chances, the real potential in songs like Time Is
Gone, To The Battle Far Beyond and The Windhorse Knight unfolds. The
monumental closer Legions Of Breitenhold is a perfect ending to yet
another very strong album. 8/10 /H
