Through the most prolific/classy channel of the underground Metallic distribution, namely the extraordinary Ulterium label (created by the great and reliable Emil Westerdahl) from mighty Sweden, that is clearly focused on high-quality music with a positive message : here is a new contender DIVINER from Greece!

A new combo formed by some ancient former members of INNER WISH, this ambitious team of seasoned musicians is specialized in Classic but extremely well executed Modern Heavy Metal with some slight touches of Power/Prog/Thrash. Well as I already said before - this album is an exemplary and rewarding method about creating Traditional Heavy Metal in the Modern breed of the the 21st century!

This is their first album, and "Fallen Empires" is promising, a fat slice of Heavy Metal in the best empiric fashion with confidence and a total experience, perhaps it could have been more diverse, maybe but in those modern days and times, where the volatility is Queen, I strongly believe that consistency is also a benefit and a honest virtue. With an amazing expertise, Mr Thimios Krikos knows exactly his job, as Guitar player/Composer/Producer or mixing engineer aswell, and his perfectionist attitude, his solid focus is obviously discernible all through the fifty minutes long of "Fallen Empires".

"Fallen Empires" is proudly struggling his way in an overcrowded market with some undeniable attributes, and a good arsenal in the most interesting virtues, displaying proudly one after one all the upper grade of its elements such as the Epic compositions ("Riders From The East"). A few authentic headbanging/galloping numbers, enlightened by the great quality of the powerful vocals delivery by Yannis Papanikolaou (ex INNER WISH/BATTLEROAR). Among the most obvious characteristics.

Top notch Guitars parts and excellent sonic production desig. The stream of genuine excellence is quite unvarying, however the third cut "Evilizer" is one of the highlight of this "Fallen Empires", along with the closing duo "Sacred War" and "Out In The Abyss"!
