Monsterworks 8th Album “The Creation Dream” brings forward with it an overly sense of anticipation from their fan base. The last album being 2011’s “The God Album”.
There are some point of superior musicianship that are woven throughout the album. That said there are also points where there is nothing new that we haven’t heard before, comparisons have been made to Devin Townsend and Strapping Young Lad and although I can see that at times for me there is nothing that particularly sets me alight, there are some grunge sounding undertones with some of the tracks and there are some power screams from singer Jono backed with deathlurching vocals inbetween.
Overall the album does have some fine points and for fans of this genre I imagine they’ll be in powermetal heaven with this album.
Score: 6 out of 10

About the author
At least 27 years Rock experience :), my first album was Queen " A Kind Of Magic" before moving onto the mighty Iron Maiden, favourite album from my youth was "Operation Mindcrime" by Queensryche, which I still play regularly. I was lucky enough to experience Metallica at Milton Keynes Bowl, supported by Megadeth, The Almighty and Diamond Head, Queensryche on the "Empire" tour, Maiden on " No Prayer For The Road", had the luck to meet a few heroes, and most embarrassing moment falling asleep during a Slayer concert!
