ARRAYAN PATH came up with their third release called "Ira Imperium", after "Terra Incognita", which has left very good impressions on me. While listening to "Ira Imperium" I recognized that the band has been evolving their music as their career progresses. Thirteen tracks of pure Power Metal with excellent melodies and a very beautiful voice to decorate each one.

Nicholas Leptos has a very charismatic voice that is a little bit similar to Appolo Papathanasio (FIREWIND), a voice pattern that has been integral with Arrayan ARRAYAN PATH's music. I noticed that the guitars have evolved to high levels as all the ideas were ingenious. The riffs will remind you bands like MYSTIC PROPHECY, FIREWIND, BURNING BLACK, NIGHTMARE and a little bit of old HAMMERFALL. Vaggelis Maranis of SANVOISEN lended his great voice to some tracks influencing on the album's quality to reach higher edges. Highlights of the album: "Gnosis of Promytheus", "Ira Imperium (The Damned)", "Katherine of Aragon", "Emir Of The Faithful" and "Lost Ithaca". I recommend "Ira Imperium" for the fans of true Metal and especially the period after 1996. Great job guys!
