Melodic Power Metal
Finland has always been prime territory for great power metal bands going all the way back to Stratovarius. So it is no surprise that power metal quintet Force Majeure hails from there. Despite having been active since 2001, The Rise of Starlit Fires is only their third full-length album, and the first in six years.
The first thing of note is that there seems to be a somewhat astronomical theme running through this album, with constant references to starfalls, the Zodiac signs, the planets, and other such universe-oriented things.
The album starts with “Gemini Rising”, which is a pretty solid blend of classic 80s metal and modern power metal, with its synth chants, speedy drums, and solid guitar work. Lång indeed does sound very similar to Nightwish's Marco Hietala, and his vocals are strong, but almost a bit tentative at times, as if he’s still finding his sound and where he’s comfortable.
