This album is a mix between power, speed, and a heavy metal. Most songs are mid-tempo power metal riffs though some songs like "Hell Shall Be Your Home" fall much more into the category of Speed metal with fast riffs and solos. The songs are either good or bad, fortunately many are solid songs. The vocals are just the typical power metal high pitch falsettos for the choruses and mid-range for everything else. The guitar work is solid focusing more on the riffs then the leads which is definitely not unusual for power metal. The drumming is solid as well. The bass is audible for the most part which is quite unusual for this genre. Overall "The Golden Age of Black Magic" is mainly a solid affair, the arrangements are very clever and thought-out. I recommend this release to any fan of German Power or Speed Metal, especially if you’re one of those people who prefer no keyboards in their Power Metal.
