5. Harald Harfager
6. Eric the Red

Formed out of the split of Grave Digger after Excalibur, Rebellion has adopted much of the sound that band developed starting with the Tunes Of War release. Primarily the band of original GD guitarist, Uwe Lulis, it is no suprise that the signature Grave Digger guitar chops are here and Uwe has even gone so far as recruiting a vocalist very similar to Boltendahl in his rougher sound. Rebellion's vocalist, Michael Seifert, is clearly the more talented clean singer however.
This album isn't a huge change from the previous two Rebellion albums, but it probably has more in common with the debut then Born A Rebel. Born A Rebel had more of a straight forward nature in both lyrics and music and this one finds Rebellion once again taking on epic music in both lyrical themes and sound. There are a couple spoken interludes which break the flow of the music and come off as a slight annoyance, but they're nowhere near as frequent as on the debut and that's definetely a good thing. There's probably a bit more clean vocals on this album then previous releases, but there's still plenty of rough deliveries and any fan of the band should be well satisfied.
Basically any fan of Grave Digger's epic material should like this as it's essentially an extension of that band's sound. Really anyone into heavy germantic metal and warrior sort of lyrics should find this heavy slice of viking worship pleasing.
Highlights: Canute The Great, Eric The Red, Raghild's Dream
Rating - 3.5/5
