The name alone strikes many wonderful scenes into the minds of power metal fans, from the rolling hills of Scotland, to magical weapons, dragons, and wizards. Enter “Tales From the Kingdom of Fife” the album brought to you by the mastermind behind Alestorm, Christopher Bowes. Focusing on Scottish mythology with a twist, all while exploring the musical realms of epic power metal, this album promises to blow your mind with keyboard solos, soaring heavenly choruses, and triplet drenched string and drum work.The tempo slows slightly, speeds up, and then totally drops throughout the next three songs, ultimately leading to the album’s ballad. “Silent Tears of Frozen Princess” is a beautiful track, though the vocalist sounds his best at his higher range, there is a female vocalist accompanying him that compliments nicely. The album refreshingly picks up again for the rest of the album, regaining the strength the album kicked out in the beginning, featuring a strong chant-along song “Hail to Crail” and an impressive instrumental. The last track on the album is over ten minutes long, “The Epic Rage of Furious Thunder” and a song featuring a name such as that is setting the bar pretty high for itself. The song holds up to its name and provides a fitting and just end for such an impressive album. “Tales From the Kingdom of Fife” is a genre defining masterpiece of epic power metal music. The album clearly set out to blow the power metal stereotype out of the water, and whether they intended to or not, they succeeded in creating some of the truest power metal ever recorded. Any fan of the real cheese of power metal, not gouda, this album will be perfect for you. I’m talking soaring speed metal guitars, heavy keyboard solos and spotlights, galloping drums in true Nicko McBrain style, and the vocals of the next power metal god himself… Cheese! If the album ends up being too much for you, grow some chest hair, watch The Lord of the Rings (extended versions), and pick up a battle-axe because clearly, you just don’t get it!
