Review

In todays unbounded metal scene, it is not an easy matter to release a debut album whose independence, high technical standard and number of spellbinding compositions make it stand out from the rest. Yet Human Fortress from Hannover have managed to do just that. The musical independence and competence of their debut album, Lord Of Earth And Heavens Heir is truly impressive. The successful mixture of straight, melodic metal songs, epic influences and a generous portion of familiarity transports the listener on a journey through very different epochs and styles. Songs such as the driving opener, ´The Dragons Lair`, the short intrumental, ´The Fortress`, the epic ´Little Flame` and the memorable and very cleverly orchestrated `Lord Of Earth And Heavens Heir` are clear proof that here in late summer 2001 one of Germany's most talented new metal bands are about to be released onto the world.

This debut work was produced by Tommy Newton in his ´Area 51 Studio` in Celle near Hannover, which has already hosted a large number of well-known bands. Newton is no stranger to metal fans, being known not only as former guitarist and songwriter of the popular Victory, but also as engineer and talented producer. Together with Human Fortress Newton has produced an album which, when seen from a sound-technical point of view, does full justice to the high artistic standard of the song material. The songs on Lord Of Earth And Heavens Heir sound both transparent and forceful, have rhythmically exciting passages as well as depth and atmosphere.
