Editorial Reviews

With Heavenseeker, Galloglass present a more mature style: tougher, more direct and with even more intuition for hymn-like catchy tunes. Their fast, melodic Power Metal with a leaning to the epic is a perfect symbiosis of the early works of German Speed Metal, à la Blind Guardian or Kai Hansen and the effortless elegance of old Helstar or Fates Warning releases. Featuring Metal violinist Hartmut Richter and a female choir to provide the additional melodic spots and guest appearances by Curran Murphy (ex-Nevermore, Annihilator) and Jeff Waters (Annihilator), Heavenseeker works like an infusion of fresh blood into the fossilized veins of the German Power Metal scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars I HAVE FOUND HEAVEN, March 27, 2006

Galloglass strikes again with quality power metal. This is a great follow up to Legends From Now and Nevermore. It starts of with Burden of Grief which will please anyone with great vocals, riffs, backing vocals, everything about the song is great. Then after that it follows up with what they may be known for, a violin intro that has a guitar riff edge to it. Definitly the most melodic song on the cd. It only gets better with great choruses and solos that will make leap for joy. The best song on here may be To Kneel is to Suffer. It comes in with a drum fill and then after that, hold on to your seat and let the magic happen. Bottom line is that if your a power metal fan than don't miss out on Galloglass. Best album of 2005, BUY IT.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what i wanted, July 20, 2007

Hmm.... interesting. i was sort of expecting a more melodic/symphonic metal album, which is clearly not what i purchased. While I still respect this band as much as the next guy, i reccomend you search elswhere if you are thinking this is more of a "Light" metal album. On the contrary, if you're into speed metal with a slight symphonic touch, this is right up your alley.

I was really looking foward to this release and I wasn't dissapointed. Good stuff here, great guitars, drums and vocals. More power metal bands need to be like this. If you like their first album or if you're looking for a new band to listen to you'll enjoy this one.
