"Tornado is true musical legatee/successor of Deep Purple, Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Manowar, Metal Church, Helloween and Gamma Ray." That is what this bands official website state. They also tell us how this unique band blends heavy metal with components of old Serbian / Byzantine Medieval music, Renaissance and Baroque neoclassical music. And I have no problem at all with that description, other that they of course can't compare to the splendor of any of the aforementioned bands. But they do play this odd blend of power, progressive and true heavy metal. It all makes them sound like no others, but it doesn't really say anything about the quality of their music. This is one of those bands that is not all that good, but they are not bad either. I like the music, but can't remember one song when the CD is finished. I guess I keep it because I'm such an avid collector of heavy metal with Christian lyrics. At the time of recording this, their second, album, they didn't have a lead singer. So the members take turns in singing lead on different songs.
Killer tracks: Coming Of The King, Black Swan Rider
