well lets see this band comes from australia, WOW i didnt even know that australia had anyone in the power metal scene. this album is a decent entry to my collection of power metal, thundering drums, killer riffs, soaring vocals what more can a metalhead like myself ask for.....in addition i give this cd 4/5 stars a really good effort from one of my new favorite bands, and there even from australia! \m/

This album is packed with great musicianship, the guitar riffs are extremely well played as Lord Tim voice matches great with the rhythm section. Dungeon plays power metal with a little influence of the 80's metal by the likes of Iron Maiden, Primal Fear, Iced Earth and many others. My favorite of the album is "One Step Beyond". Give this a chance!!!

This album is a shock because alot of power metal bands suck.What I like about Dungeon is that they don't have the happy sounding keyboards.
The Power Within is a great fast song,I don't like the chorus though.
Tarrano Del Mar is such a great song,it's a slow song, Lord Tim's(vocals,guitar,keyboards) voice is awesome(really good),in this song he sounds like the Omen singer and then during the middle of the song when he does the scream he sounds a bit like Michael Kiske. This is the longest song on the album running aprox.8:17.
One Step Beyond is fast,some thrash.
Against The Wind I really don't like that song,it's more of a mellow song.
The Art Of War is one of the best songs on the album(very powerful),the vocals are awesome of course through out the album.
The Hunger is a ballad(I don't like it), that's why I gave this album a four star is because of that song and Against The Wind.
Surface Tension is another great fast song.
Under The Cross is my favorite song on the album.
Epilogue is an outro.
Dungeon is power speed metal, they do not have the crapy happy sounding keyboards, as a matter of fact there isn't much use of the keyboards in this album.
The solo's are amazing(shredders). Lord Tim is the only one who looks like a headbanger in this band.
If your like I am and you don't really like power metal, check Dungeon out,you may just like it.

These guys have a deep passion for true metal. Lord Tim presents himself in a very friendly out going type of man and his deep rooted love of metal is apparent in every song. Sometimes like a thrasier version of old school helloween. Every song has the solos the riffs the drumming , vocals, I mean everything. Tack 2 is their own take on a pirate song which would fit in nice with and running wild album. Support these guys, they deserve it all the way. Great riffs in every song. Track 2 had 140 vocal tracks recorded for it alone. Mix Helloween, Blind Guardian, and Running Wild and this is Dungeon. True Metal warriors only need apply. Also check out, Cryonic Temple, Wizard, Edguy and Brainstorm.

A Rise to Power wasn't great but it was alot better than this. The DVD in my opinion is way better than this CD.
