Freedom Call
built 177 days ago
German power metal troupe Freedom Call drum up all of the standard rock clichés on THE CIRCLE OF LIFE, from mega-dramatic guitar solos to fist pumping anthems like "Carry On" that'd sound best accompanying clips of international soccer highlights. With a likeness that combines Manowar, Gamma Ray, and Symphony X, this quintet takes its harmless, kitschy metal very seriously, and the musicianship behind songs like "Starlight" accentuate that. While the happy go lucky feel of this 12-track disc is a bit misplaced in 2005, if it's innocuous power metal you're looking for, these guys deliver the goods proper.

German Melodic Power Metal act Freedom Call returns to the fore with fifth album Dimensions, largely recorded at FC Studios in Nuremberg, Germany. Drum parts were cut at Area 51 in Celle under the direction of Tommy Newton. Freedom Call co-founder and drummer Daniel Zimmerman has claimed the album combines the “most successful” elements from the record's two predecessors, namely 2002's Eternity and 2005's The Circle of Life respectively; “we included our penchant for fast and very melodic numbers from Eternity with a more contemporary, bombastic components of The Circle Of Life.” True? Let's find out.

Continuing in the classic vein of melodic, prog-tinged German power metal, Freedom Call comprised vocalist/guitarist Chris Bay, drummer Dan Zimmermann, guitarist Sascha Gerstner, and bassist Ilker Ersin. The group debuted in 1999 with Stairway to Fairyland, and followed it two years later with Crystal Empire. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Freedom Call is an EP released after Holy Land, featuring one new song in the title track. Remixed versions of "Queen of the Night," "Reaching Horizons," and "Deep Blue" are all right, but are not too different from the previously available versions. The orchestral version of "Stand Away" is excellent, and a remake of Judas Priest's "Painkiller" is the other high point of this EP. [Freedom Call was reissued by Century Media in 1999.] ~ David White, All Music Guide
