 "The technical skill is evident, especially regarding sound quality, ensuring a good musical performance."

 "Ideas are recycled, reused, and therefore are less solid than the originals. It’s a bit of a vicious cycle."

The review of Pyramaze's 2004 debut album Melancholy Beast praises its technical skill and sound quality, especially in select tracks like the title song and 'The Journey.' However, it highlights the broader issue of power metal's repetitive nature and lack of innovation. Despite the proficient execution, the album struggles to offer fresh ideas, reflecting a genre caught in a cycle of recycling past sounds. Ultimately, the review appreciates the band's effort but questions the genre's future. Explore Pyramaze's Melancholy Beast and decide if this power metal classic breaks the mold or rides the genre’s familiar waves.
