CIRCLE OF SILENCE are your typical German Power Metal per se, yet it's something a little heavier and more brutal and thrashy, so to speak. Capturing all the epicenes and the velocity of Power Metal with more vehement vocals, their sound lies somewhere between HELLOWEEN, STRATOVARIUS and POWERWOLF yet still stands out.

This is the band's fourth album and since it's the first thing I hear from them, I shan't compare it to its predecessors which I expect to be as good or even better. The band proved prowess and a great proficiency. Niklas Keim's vocals are the main thing that contributed to the harsher sound of the band: husky-like yet still having the quality of typical Power Metal. Guitars are top-notch and each song has its own feeling, the catchiest might be "Eyes Of Anarchy" and "The Architect Of Immortality" for the moment.

Clad in such a nice-looking artwork, the somewhat futuristic sound and concept can be quite expectable.
