Freedom Call to release 'Beyond' on February 24:th, 2014

[Cronopio]

More than stoked for this. Judging by the song titles they're going "back to the roots", as opposed to 'Land of the Crimson Dawn' which, although a good album, had a little too many cock rock songs for my liking.

Track listing:

01. Union Of The Strong
02. Knights Of Taragon
03. Heart Of A Warrior
04. Come On Home
05. Beyond
06. Among The Shadows
07. Edge Of The Ocean
08. Journey Into Wonderland
09. In The Rhythm Of Light
10. Dance Off The Devil
11. Paladin
12. Follow Your Heart
13. Colours Of Freedom
14. Beyond Eternity

This does look encouraging. I know it's predictable and samey but I come to Freedom Call for those cheesy uplifting power metal songs! I didn't enjoy that dabble with hard rock...songs about radio and rockstars :/

But this album looks like a return to form!

Get it while it's hot:

Union of the Strong official video

Had to smile as soon as I heard "carry on" man, metal bands love that phrase, especially Freedom Call! Pretty par for the course in FC terms. Glad it's not fully in the hard rock camp which they've tended towards recently. Kinda encouraging if a bit bland.

 

[1928]

I've tried to really dig FC before but they're the epitome of generic power metal imo... lots of good songs but they just can't seem to stand out enough for me. This is definitely better than the last music video they released though!

 

[Cronopio]

I bought the limited edition today. Have only listened through it once, but rest assured it is way better than LOTCD. Seems like they really went back to the roots with this one.

 

[Nightman]

I know nobody will agree but I think the best Freedom Call album is "The Circle of Life"

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

So did anyone catch this? Thoughts?

 

[The Crystal King]

This album absolutely rocks! So catchy and full of classic style fc songs! It's much more along the lines of Circle of life and Eternity. I was waiting for more of the pop rock stuff like rockin radio, but each song surprised me by being classic epic fc style!

 

[Thematt202]

I'll have to check this one out. Seen them live before at Snooty Fox but always found them a bit "meh".

I know nobody will agree but I think the best Freedom Call album is "The Circle of Life"

The only thing that album really did wrong was open with a slow song, and shove all of the fast songs to the middle and back of the album. Also, I think that using a title that was the same as a Disney song put a lot of people off. And Rhythm of Life is a crap song. But apart from all that, Circle of Life is a perfectly good album.
