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
