On
previous efforts Narnia have been accused of being to Christian in the
context of their lyrics. You know what I mean, they tell you how much
they love God and Jesus in every line of every song and this approach is
very commendable but it also is very cheesy as it shows a lack of
originality on the bands behalf.
Well this cannot be levelled at the band this time as they have written
some corking tunes with an obvious leaning towards the almighty but this
time they have done it an altogether more subtle way.
First song in Inner Sanctum bounds straight in with some serious Dokken
style riffing that will have you bobbing along nicely and is followed by
The Witch and the Lion which shows the Bands and the guitarist Carl
Grimmark's love of all things Malmsteen as the song pounds along at a
fair pace with some serious shredding.
This continues until we get to the instrumental might of The Light at
the End of the Tunnel, which doffs its cap in honour to the guitar
genius of Malmsteen and Blackmore before him.
You just know the old Rainbow albums were out the night before they
recorded this one. AWESOME!!
