This is a superb label sampler form Century Media showing off the best of there Power Metal bands, some old, some new and some previously unreleased in Europe.

It kicks off in fine style with "Avalon" by Nocturnal Rites and as astatement of intent you cant get better than this ,  Next follows a new track by Dream Evil from the "Book Of Heavy Metal" sessions and very good it is too , the track "Only For The Night" crops up later.

Former Stratovarius singer Kotipelto has 2 tracks as well, one "Reasons" off his current CD and another track called Secret Name" off his first CD that was a Japanese bonus track and now shared with the rest of the world. There are a couple of classics on here as well, one from Iced Earth, "Burning Times", "Inhuman" from the excellent Angel Dust and a cover version Of "Children Of The Sea by Jag Panzer. 

There are also really good tracks form not so well know bands that are well worth checking out, Into Eternity, Onward, Tad Morose, (who perform a cover version of an Accept track) the fantastic "I, Voyager" from Nevermore and not to forget Labyrinth, Zonata and Dragonland. These is a well thought out sampler and well worth the money, go on and explore some of the best Euro Metal around.
