Info:
The actual songwriting is pretty strong, though not as original as their later work or masked by lackluster vocals and drums. “Lost in the Dust” and “Ghosts of Babylon” both have solid principle riffs, well realized solos (Ghosts of Babylon has a solo riff that sounds a lot like Malmsteen’s Eclipse), and enough hooks to stick in your head. Although I’ve come to like Magic Kingdom mostly for their speed metal, both of these songs are solid down tempo 80s metal tracks, although I’d wager they’d sound better now if re-recorded with Olaf Hayer doing the vocals. “Land of the Fire” has an opening riff that sounds extremely similar to Nocturnal Rites’ “Pentagram” and “Angels of Thunder” listens like an obvious homage to “I’ll See the Light Tonight”. Likewise with many of the other songs on here, when hearing them you can enjoy them, but can’t help but hear blatant references to established acts at the time.
