After the very good bombastic and somehow soundtrack-like intro "Dragondawn" "Storming Across Heaven" is a full-on high-speed Power Metal-assault of the epic kind, with unobtrusive keyboards, a really good start! And the following "A Last Farewell" is a nice, intense ballad with a female guest-vocalist, which (the ballad, not the singer!) is coming over very well, too, just a little unusual to put a ballad so high up in the play-list, but as long as it is this good, there are not any problems with that.
Following this DRAGONLAND cannot fully keep the level, but still, speedy hammers like "Ride For Glory" and "The Battle Of The Ivory March" or mid-tempo-stuff of the "Braveheart"-category are above average for sure. The only slight drop-out is the Mozart-cover-version of "Rondo a la Turca", because here the keyboard is the melody-leading instrument. As talented as Master Holmlid is, in such a piece this role belongs to the guitar, as STORMWITCH have proved all those many years back.
