The eight album from this band from Holland.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I reviewed # 1 of the D Day albums last year together with some rather older Knight Area albums. I was happy about their first albums. I was not impressed by the direction the band had taken on D Day, # 1 of this series of albums.
The band has gone from being a good neo-prog band, one of the better bands in this genre, to becoming a progressive and power metal band.
Mostly power metal, as on this album, # 2 of this series.
Yes, it is about the D Day and the assault on the beaches of Normandie back in June 1944. It is a kind of a concept album.
The album is decent to good in the beginning of these three quarters of an hour this album takes up our time. The end is pretty dire, although it is probably essential for the story told on this concept album. I concede that.
This album takes us through some power metal cliches too.
The end result is barely a decent album and an album I cannot recommend.
Sorry...
