René Thomsen is not only the leader of this band, but also the guitarist and composer.  This CD ‘Unbroken’ marks his second release, after their 2009 debut album ‘Let’s Get Ruthless’.  Most of the twelve songs on this album were composed together with Fair Warning producer and guitarist Helge Engelke.

A score of guest musicians aided Thomsen on this record, among them Robert Soeterbroek who did most of the vocals and whom we know from Ayreon and Star One, but also Vinny Appice who played drums on ‘We Made It’, but there’s also a contribution from Udo Dirkschneider, David Vincent… What Thomsen brings us is good power metal, but sadly enough I found not one track lingering on in my ear.  So whilst all tracks are good, it is an album that is quickly forgotten.  Which is a shame really, because the music is good.

70/100
