This album really kicks ass! I was (and still am) a big fan of Lost Horizon too and was very glad to hear Daniel Heiman's amazing voice. But I don't want to diminish the performance of the other musicians in this band. Fantastic songwriting and great atmosphere! I like it very much. hushbrush

Warrior Path
by Warrior Path

supported by 23 fans who also own “Empires in the Sun”

With vocals that take you to the wailing heights and just as quickly slam you down into the depths, laden with riff-tastic rhythms, this is one unbelievably awesome power metal fest. Storytelling at its best. For lovers of metal, this is a must. I'm going to love losing more of my hearing on Warrior Path. Brian Genxer
