 "Freedom Call continues to amaze and produce good albums, but above all, they prove wrong those who accuse them (quite unjustly)."

 "The album closes with Palace of Fantasy and The Wanderer, other cheerful, carefree songs that flow quickly and enjoyably."

 An album both more mature and more engaging than their first two works.

 A record that fans of the genre should not miss.

Fans of the genre will find this album rewarding and essential. Listen to Freedom Call's Eternity and experience classic power metal anthems packed with fantasy and energy!

 The album is not a masterpiece but, after all, it is a side project and thus there’s time to improve.

 The drums even overpower the guitar and moreover, the voice is always distorted by those effects that Matthew Barlow of ‘Iced Earth’ also used.

This review examines Demons & Wizards' second album, noting the strong musicianship and iconic contributions from band members of Iced Earth and Blind Guardian. Despite some repetitiveness and overpowering drums, standout tracks like 'Wicked Witch' shine. The album is solid but falls short of mastery, with hopes for significant improvement in the future. Explore the powerful riffs and unique blend of talent in Demons & Wizards' 'Touched By The Crimson King'—listen now and hear the evolution.

 'Over the Rainbow,' one of the best songs on the album, a true fantasy anthem.

 Kudos to the drummer Dan Zimmermann, ex 'Gamma Ray.'
