Absolutely Amazing!

"As progressive metal continues to make its way into the emerging music industry, many talented artists are making the scene. Black Majesty just so happens to do just that. With their first studio release "Sands of Time", they definetly have a future. I had only seen an ad for the CD, so it took curiousity for me to buy it. I didnt know what to expect, but it definetly took me by suprise. The guitar-work as well as the keyboard-work is very unique as it touchs Iron Maiden but in a very, new style.You can really tell how bands like Iron Maiden and Dio influenced metal. "Beyond Reality" and "Guardian" are my favorite tracks, at no point did they dissapoint me, but instead kept me on the edge of my seat waiting for more. "Lady of the Lake" brings out the soft side of the Australian group when it introduces the beauty of keyboards & light guitars. You should definetly pick this CD up, you will not be dissapointed.. as long as you love rock :P"

"This cd was excellent. Perfect for when you just want to relax with some good powermetal. Black Majesty has taken place in my collection along side of hammerfall, nightwish, and Ozzy. I strongly recommend metal fans purchase this. You will not regret it."
Took a few spins but!

"I really dig this cd now after I've given it a few spins. At first spin I wasn't all that impressed or I should say it really didn't knock me out. I thought it was ok, but nothing really earth shattering. However as I've given it a few more goes in the ol' cd player it has grown on me. It's one of those cd's that take a few listens to truly appreciate all that's going on. In the end I'm impressed enough to say don't be affraid to check it out as it's prog metal heaven.

CAN'T GO WRONG WITH BLACK MAJESTY

"Great debut album from downunder. This is fantastic melodic metal that is heavy. A huge highlight in this band is their singer. He deals out the most fantastic vocals that will blow your mind. Of course with a melodic band you expect the instruments to be out-of-this-world, and they are. Do yourself a favor and don't ignore these guys any longer. No dissapointments with these guys, a must have."
