  I'll be up-front about the fact that contemporary power metal is not really my thing. If I want to listen to Iron Maiden, I'm gonna go put on an Iron Maiden album, not listen to a bunch of guys cranking out their best Maiden impression.

  The album cover is the most interesting thing about this band.

  I'm not entirely opposed to throw-back metal—I loved the Helm's Deep record that came out toward the end of 2025—but it needs to have some originality and creativity. Death Is Your Master comes across as either bad parody or unintentional parody, and I'm not sure which would be worse.

  Maybe things get vastly better after the third track, but I wouldn't know, since that's the point at which I turned this album off and moved on to better things.
