3.0 out of 5 stars
European-style fantasy metal, February 17, 2007
This review is from: Fate Is Calling Pt.1 (Audio CD)
Dawnrider are like most of the metal bands I've heard lately; solid enough for you to bang your head for an hour after a tough day at work, but nothing to get overly excited about. The guitar work is good, not spectacular with a few decent solos interspersed throughout the songs. The riffs are fairly tame and start to sound alike as you near the end of the CD. The vocals aren't bad. There are a few different voices to be heard, the main one reminds me of the singer for Sisters of Mercy, but not as deep. Lyrically the songs are of the sword and sorcery variety which I like when well done although many of the songs here are fairly cheesy. "Fate is calling" is a big bold slice of European-style fantasy metal and it does its job fairly well.
