EAGLEHEART “Dreamtherapy” /CD/

The second full-length studio album by Czech Power Metal band.
When producer Roland Grapow (once an axeman of both Helloween and Masterplan) was hired for the production of this album, he probably knew what he got himself into. From this end, he actually landed on a potential gold mine of talents. Along with his clean and fine work on the production, Eagleheart showed that their name, besides being a song of Stratovarius, will eventually be some day known and spoken about by many.
Drawing its influences and sharing similarities with Rhapsody Of Fire, Masterplan, Gamma Ray, Helloween, Yngwie Malmsteen and Kamelot, this is a force to be acquainted with. Even though that the rain of Euro Power Metal bands dragged the notion of swarms filled with too many clichés, Eagleheart has its own advantages. They do have aspects that would display the common melodic choruses, same kind of riffs and undying speed for instance, but there is more than that. "Dreamtherapy" has a bit than a portion of maturity.
Right by the side of the normalities of the subgenre, the material offers time signature breaks of beats, articulate Neo-Classical solos of high standards, a rather diverse line of rhythms and a little more than the traditional set of vocals. Don't be wrong, Eagleheart is a Power Metal being, and it showed alliance to the characteristics especially when keeping the flow and somewhat accessibility of their tracks. However, what spiced up their album is that touch of maturity and a heavier approach in comparison to their debut.
"Dreamtherapy" is an extremely strong and influential album. Eagleheart has produced a gem with this one, and it is the complete package of excellent musicianship and songwriting. There isn’t a weak track on this album, and it should stand out for quite some time. This album is a must for every Metalhead that respects the genre!
The album features guest vocals and guitar solos by Roland Grapow (Masterplan, ex- Helloween)!!
