Cryonic Temple Into The Glorious Battle CD (Jewel Case, 2018 Scarlet Records)

Into The Glorious Battle is the fifth studio album from Swedish power metal band Cryonic Temple, delivering a melodic and epic approach to traditional European power metal with soaring vocals, driving rhythms, prominent guitar leads and memorable choruses.

The album opens with “Prepare For War”, a powerful mid-paced epic that gradually accelerates into a more energetic power metal assault. The track combines intricate guitar work, melodic leads and a strong chorus, supported by Roland W. on bass and backing vocals and Micke “Rapid Fire” D. on drums. The result is a polished and dynamic production that balances heaviness with the melodic character at the heart of Cryonic Temple’s sound.

“Heroes Of The Day” takes the album in a more reflective direction, introducing a softer, downtempo atmosphere without losing the dramatic songwriting and powerful vocal delivery. Its melodic approach provides an effective contrast to the heavier material and adds another dimension to the album.

“Mighty Eagle” brings the intensity straight back, driven by galloping rhythms, energetic guitar arrangements and a more forceful power metal attack. The combination of melodic hooks, powerful instrumentation and traditional heavy metal influences gives the track a strong sense of momentum.

Throughout Into The Glorious Battle, Cryonic Temple demonstrate their ability to combine epic songwriting with the speed, melody and grandeur associated with European power metal. The album is a strong choice for fans of melodic and traditional power metal who appreciate polished production, soaring melodies and classic metal songwriting.
