What a great way to start off with a punchy heavy riff for the lead off track and first single “Until We Touch the Morning Sun”. I really like these guys, with the like Sonata Arctica, and find them one of the great new bands on the scene. They have a lot of similarities to Stratovarius which are very obvious on “Break the Emotion”, though this second release is not so much as their debut. Their Strato influence is worn on their sleeves, but Thunderstone has grittier vocals and guitars with less emphasis on the orchestrations. They have a knack for writing melodious versus’ backed by power chords and an up beat chorus for “Mirror Never Lies”.
