Narnia - Desert Land (2001)
This is a great example of what Christian metal is and should be. "Desert Land" is sure to become one of my all-time favorite metal albums! It is that good! The boys in Narnia have never failed to deliver when it comes to classic/power metal with a message and "Desert Land" is no exception. This is by far their best release to date. The guitars are awesome as always, and the drums and production sound full and large. This album contains some of the fastest and some of the slowest songs Narnia has ever done. On the slower tracks they have incorporated a style very similar to that of Ronnie James Dio and older hard rock acts like Rainbow. The faster tracks rival anything put out by Impellitteri and are simply amazing! For fans of Shining Star, Rainbow, Dio and Iron Maiden. -- Review by Norm
