Two full-length albums within barely a just a year, successful tours with bands like Blind Guardian, Masterplan and Kamelot to name a few, nominated to the title "Newcomer of the Year" in many Metal magazines are factors that absolutely speak for themselves and describe the immediate and indisputable success of the first years in the Dream Evil episode.
Dream Evil has had some brilliant moments, and a good deal of it is found on this EP. The songs avoid the hyper speed fury of Rhapsody and Gamma Ray, and stick mostly to conventional structures with a large emphasis on choruses, something not unique to this band and their basic style, but differing in levels of emphasis. The title track “Children of the Night” sounds like a heavier version of the Scorpions classic “Big City Nights”, the lyrics are a cheesy variation on Dio’s poetic approach, but once you’ve heard it you cannot forget it no matter how hard you try. “Dragonheart” is a mid-grade Speed Metal track that probably was a b-side from their debut album, where they sounded the most like a Hammerfall clone. “Betrayed” is a slower heavier number, but still listens somewhat lightly with Niklas vocals still invoking the spirit of Klaus Meine. The acoustic version of “Evilized” is vocally exposed, which works well for this outfit.
If you have to pick up a single release by this band but want to avoid the price of an LP, or you want to spend a little money to find out what you’d be in for with this outfit, this is the album to get. It is a perfectly happy medium between the dragons and magic of their debut and the dark imagery of their follow-up “Evilized”. If you want to skip ahead and get an LP, “Evilized” is the first to get, but this one strongly recommended because “Children of the Night” contains two bonus tracks from the Japanese versions of both “Dragonslayer” and “Evilized”, an acoustic version of the title tune of the latter and finally also a video clip of “Children of the Night” from a gig in Gothenburg in February 2003.

The advance single for the upcoming album “The Book Of Heavy Metal” (May, 31st) released on April, 26th. In fact, Dream Evil, much like loin-clothed Metal Warriors Manowar, cares not for the latter category of sniveling vermin! No sir, their mission to metalizing the realm is fueled by far grander ambitions and deeper commitments than those non-believers could possibly fathom. Or so one would gather from the meaty staccato riffs, dazzling guitar solos and soaring vocals (everything classic Metal is known and loved for) to be found in this über-metallic offering. Noted Metal producer Fredrik Nordström is the main architect of Dream Evil's castle, it's also embattled by bassist Peter Stalfors and legendary drummer Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Notre Dame, etc.), as well as Greek guitar-shredding sub-legend Gus G. (Mystic Prophecy, Firewind, etc.). Also to their credit, Dream Evil doesn't pave their glorious road with the easy but by now rote clichés of Power Metal. There's virtually zero Thrash-like Speed to be found here, and actually come closest to old-school Hard Rock than later-day Metal for inspiration.
Fans of Judas Priest, Dio, and especially Manowar will likely find themselves lapping up this EP, and the fact that the members of Dream Evil often have their tongues planted firmly in cheek should also forgive most of their excesses in the name of Metal!!!
