Albums
The band has released nine albums over 22 years. All of them received good reviews. They have the ability to tale stories through their music and a few of their songs are based on books and medievil times. This is why the are considered power metal. When listening to the studio versions of the songs it sounds as if a whole choir is singing but it is actually just Hans Kursch. He records himself singing multiple times and overlaps the recordings, giving the impreesion there is more than one singer. They also have lots of guitar solo's in their songs as well as some very heavy riffs.
