Dawn Of Infinityby Dark Forest

Dark Forest's newest album "Dawn of Infinity" takes on the likes of Iced Earth, etc. Ok, track 1 "Hourglass" is too cheesy, sounds like he's singing for a broadway play. Guitar work is decent but vocals are way too corny! Next, is "Lightyears On", good solo intro to start song. Vocals not too cheesy but drones on. The redeeming quality to this and the next song "The Green Knight" are the mid-song solos and the dual guitar parts. Of all the songs on "Dawn of Infinity" the chorus and dual guitar parts are pulled off best on this song. "Seize the Day" is again a song where the guitar-work saves the song from the broadway-style vocals, although the song flows good and good beat. The two songs are the two best besides, "The Green Knight". "The Tor" starts fast and fades to a real grungy song that exploded my speakers on the loud peircing solo. Heaviest song on the album with the meatest solos! "Through A Glass Darkly" is the best track on "Dawn of Infinity". Best acoustic intro and beginning solo - makes me want to pick it up my guitar to jam out! The perfect combination of vocals, guitar rhythms, solos and just everything together! I got the feeling that if this whole album meshed like this song does, this album would climb the charts. "Black Delta" is the worst song because at least the first track "Hourglass" had good guitar work, this is the album's bottom out. "A Deadly Premonition" picks up the mid-grade song quality we heard earlier with semi-lame vocals being rescued by decent guitar-work. Over all, "Dawn of Infinity" has the earmarks of a top-notch quality metal album, but on several songs the singer drags them down.
