Brilliant vocals and some fantastically powerful instrumental work.

Sign Of Truth - Dionysus
More fun power metal, with great production from Tobias Sammet.
Nothing new here.
Sound Of Perseverance - Death
Hugely enjoyable and talented jazz-prog-death metal.

Misses some of Romica's best works

Successful experimentation.
Lacks diversity.
