Two or three albums like Pande-amonium are released worldwide every week, so the trick for us listeners is to weed out the chaff and get to the wheat. This isn't always easy - the general rule of thumb for bands like Saint Deamon is that their instrumental dexterity is a given, as is the heavily-accented vocalistic hilarity offered by their singer. Where the variations begin, and where the war is won and lost, is in the song department, and I'm happy to report that in this respect these particular saints are indeed blessed. Sitting on the hard rock side of Euro power metal, the likes of the tremendous Way Home points to a bright future for this Swedish outfit.
