“A Legend To Believe In” comes alive through its hymn-like, epic songs.

Fans of classical-speed, highly melodic Metal with impressive vocals will have no excuse to pass over this first class album.

Hailing from Springfield, Massachusetts, Doug Ratner & the Watchmen’s main claim to fame is getting banned from a popular TV show, Mass Appeal, in their hometown, for their song Bomb in the Backseat. It appears the show neither listened to the song nor understood it’s meaning. They only heard the references to bombs and explosions. O well.Ratner and company play a blend of classic guitar rock with some modern alt references. Here’s the skinny on their debut EP Lessons Well Learned. First, if you give it more than a few spins, it will grow on you. But the significant songs are three.
01. Each the Others World Entire (3:15)
02. Dancing to Keep from Crying (3:41)
03. Jealousy (3:55)
04. Unbelievably Good (3:45)
05. Start a Fire (3:12)
06. Nervous Reaction (4:33)
07. Bombarded in Rio (3:14)
08. I Got a Power of My Own (3:48)
09. I Can Shake It (4:54)
10. In the Nighttime (6:24)
Seven Kingdoms commitment to melodic power metal continues on their third release, The Fire Is Mine. Led by the clear and passionate vocals of Sabrina Valentine’s vocals, Seven Kingdom effortlessly combines speed and heaviness with melody to invigorate the American power metal genre.
There’s little more to be said about Valentine’s vocal prowess that wasn’t said in my review of 2010’sSeven Kingdoms. She remains the classic female metal vocalist, singing clean and strong, but also avoiding the extremes of outrageously operatic or gruesome growling. (It appears, overall, that the band has abandoned the growling found briefly in their last release.)
