The glamorous cover of this disc might be deceiving, as well as the big band playing the first melody on it. Sons of Thunder is a metal band! The band describes themselves as praise metal. I have a CD called Metal Praise featuring artists from Sacred Warrior, Bloodgood, Rez and Whitecross. But Sons Of Thunder can't be compared with the music on that CD. Circus Of Power contains metal that sounds a little more up to date, heavier, and the songs are original. Through the lyrics the band tries to praise God. It's heavy metal with various influences. There are power metal leanings and there are raps (in Flames Of Fire). Sometimes there are some nice grooves. There are funky parts in Superstar. The band produced this album while Torbjörn Weinesjö from Veni Domine took care of the mixing process. The result is not bad, yet the songs don't convince me. I can't get excited.
