Editorial Reviews

Fans of Kalmah and Children of Bodom, this is the album for you! Finland's Norther debut album on Spinefarm records delivers ultra technical and virtuoso power with lots of neo-classical influences, shredding guitars, and keyboard harmonies. The vocals are a bit growly and rough though but fit the concept of the music. Spinefarm.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOTALLY worth the extra bucks, February 13, 2005

Norther's debut, 'Dreams of Endless War,' was released in 2002. Ultimately, the look of this band might make you look at them like they're a Children of Bodom clone. This is not so. Though both bands are from Finland, both are melodic death crews, and both are quintets made up in the same way (singer/guitarist, guitarist, bassist, keyboard vrituoso, drummer), they each have peronsalities reflected in their sounds that make them unique. Both bands really can play, which is certainly not something you see in a majority of the younger metal bands out there today. I must say, the addition of the cover of classic hair metal anthem "The Final Countdown" (originally done by Europe) adds an interesting touch to an already teriffic melodic death CD. COB fans, rejoice, this is not a clone, it is merely a close cousin, and an equally talented one at that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album Period!!, February 10, 2008

This cd rocks, yes, what people say may be true about them sounding like children of bodom, yet to me norther seems less cheesier more serious sound. i would like to compare to kalmah, but even they are yet more rough.
all great bands i'll never take that away from any of them... but this norther album is my favorite along with the "death unlimited" simply awesome, pretty quick and flows well with the keyboard solos with guitar solos and rhythms as a whole and drums throughout the cd...keyboard playing is inmense i feel i like norther better than bodom in my opinion...kalmah is first though.
i love the story line this album follows too, all songs seem to connect and as you listen and understand the lyrics the music flows through you its just a great album oh and the voice is just as great too....perfect work. Try them out id start with this particular album and Death unlimited too you wont be dissapointed.............
