"Energy is running through my veins," so singer Christian Liljegren points out on the opening song of Wisdom Call's debut album. You can imagine that this song, Power From The Sky, is just that: Energy running through your veins. You can sense the adrenaline rushing through your veins. It's a fast song, energetic and heavy. Wisdom Call is Christian's side project that he does besides singing for Narnia. For his side band he recruited the Narnia drummer, two members of the Swedish band Stormwind and two other guys. Musically it's very much like Narnia with Christian's vocals as a trademark. The next song, The Lost Generation, is not as fast but still heavy. Those songs are definitely harder than many of the Narnia songs but still in the same direction: Melodic power metal. Only the last few songs on this disc are in a different direction. Wisdom Call also covered a song originally from hard rock band Europe entitled Wings Of Tomorrow and did a fine job. Quality wise this album is very solid. And, of course, it also has a ballad (Hold On To The Truth). If you look for good Swedish melodic metal you can be sure to find it here. Personally I would like to see them to pursue their own sound as most of this stuff could be on a Narnia album as well, with the only difference coming from different musicians playing the songs. But it's good stuff anyway.
