User Album Review
We rejoin Mikael Dahl and company in 2003 for the band’s third full-length, Vengeance Descending, which would prove to be the first turning point for the band’s sound, as well as its most focused early effort. I am unsure of some of the background goings-on in the band’s history, but there is a noticeable pivot in some of the music here, and the lyrics have changed a bit as well: simplified, perhaps, and certainly angrier. Actually, in comparison with the first couple of works, Vengeance Descending does indeed seem to be a snarling, temperamental creature.
With a few more hard rock and classic metal influences and improved-but-similar production as compared to the first two albums, Vengeance Descending hints at the future of Crystal Eyes while concurrently executing an expert send-off of the 80’s Maiden’n’Priest’n’Helloween-inspired sound. To date, this remains my favorite album from the band overall because of the sheer strength of songs like “The Magician’s Apprentice”, “Highland Revenge”, and “Heart Of The Mountain”. An essential for fans of Mikael Dahl, Daniel Heiman, and Swedish power in general. 4.5 // 5. --- Reviewed by Daniel Millard for blackwindmetal.com
