Silver vinyl with gatefold cover. Limited 333 copies

Formed in Jackson Michigan in 1984 Enchanter had numerous lineup changes until firming up the Shellberg/Copeland/Osbourne andKidder team that would go onto record from 1987 through 1990. Thefirst demo that appeared in 87/88 was the Defenders of the RealmDemo followed by the Time Gone Past Nevermore in 1989 andculminating with the Ethereal Quarter single in 1990. Listeningback to the material, it is hard to believe these are demo´s. Thestyle Enchanter plays is a pretty unique style sounding somethinglike Awaken The Guardian-era Fates Warning would if they suddenlydecided to take some pointers from the more blue collar realm ofUSPM, like Omen or Virgin Steele. In other words, Enchanter takesthe best aspects of both sides of the power metal spectrum andcombines them into one coherent, fantastic beast that utterly slaysjust about all in its path. Certainly at the peak of its grandeurit could give even the mighty Fates Warning a run for its money.The album´s production is pretty damn good, especially keeping inmind that the material comes from demos in the 1980s. The guitar isloud and clear, with a delightfully meaty tone which worksperfectly for the album. Everything is mixed in quite well, withthe guitar and vocals on more or less equal footing with veryaudible, pounding drums. The vocals here are fantastic, by the way.Brian David Osborne sounds something like Eric Adams of Manowarwould if he used his upper register a lot more, constantly beltingout confident shrieks. As far as I´m concerned, this band isabsolutely worthy of being mentioned alongside the titans of Uspower metal such as Omen and Queensryche. It´s just that good, itshould appeal especially to fans of Fates Warning, but alsoQueensryche, Glacier, Siren, Halifax, Invid, Angellic Rage and thelike. Its a must-have album; it truly is one of the shining gems ofthe genre.
