Astral Doors - Black Eyed Children (CD)

2017 release. Digipak. Formed in Borlänge, Sweden in 2002, Astral Doors accomplished the all the accomplishable: delighting power metal fans and traditionalists alike. Simultaneously, the sound's unmistakable kinship to Dio-fronted Rainbow and Dio/Martin-fronted Black Sabbath earned Astral Doors momentum with old-school metalheads who frowned at the perceived blandness and lack of substance in the power metal genre. Now Astral Doors is back. Black Eyed Children shows the band at it's very, very best. This is classic rock/heavy metal in the next dimension. Black Eyed Children is by far the best album so far from Astral Doors and tops the already great previous albums Notes From The Shadows and Jerusalem.
