Here we have A Hero For The World whom are a three piece metal band that consists of vocalist, keyboardist and composer Jacob Kaasgaard, guitarist/bass player David Sivelind and providing the obligatory double bass kicks is Andy Gentile who rounds out the power trio. A Hero For The World are getting set to release their epic melodic metal self-titled recording.
A Hero For The World is a stirring new melodic metal album, and as far as first outings go this band shows ample promise in both key areas of song writing and performances. They aren't afraid to challenge themselves even including a ten minute plus slow and mighty closing metal track "One Hope Of Light". So to their credit A Hero For The World were willing to put in the extra effort pushing themselves in order to give their debut its best shot at success with a robust collection of entertaining songs.
The songs on A Hero For The World flow well and are a satisfying combination of energized power tunes like "We Are Forever" and "Heaven's Eyes", mid paced likeable songs such as "Let It Go" and "Alive" and slower tunes "Forever Free" with the above mentioned closer. "Over Land And Sea" may only be a brief enchanting instrumental but I find it to be very agreeable addition as it establishes the musical foundations for following and also appealing song "A Quest For The Brave".
A Hero For The World are following in the footsteps of so many popular and established similar metal bands such as Stratovarius and Avantasia, and who knows maybe one day this group will also build a considerable fan base of their own.
