The Review:

Metal Majesty returns with it’s second release titled 2005. Musically it’s not that different then their debut but this time around the music has more of a 80's AOR feel to it. Combining the Queen-like vocals, Valensia adds some Beatles like sounds in “Burying Heather” and “Ready to Roar” has a slight Van Halen vibe to it. Even though there’s a Queen vibe, the instrumentation is very lack luster and ordinary with it’s very accessible hard rock/ metal sounding album. This is will probably appeal to most fan’s of Queen and 80's melodic AOR rock/ metal genres. All others proceed with extreme caution.
