Power metal is not having the best of years. The new Sabaton is fair but virtually indistinguishable from the previous four albums, Rhapsody Of Fire’s latest is fine but less than what they are capable of and Avantasia released a double album that was a soporific slab of boredom of biblical proportions. In the hour of need, into the breach steps a hero from the unlikeliest of places. From Australia come Black Majesty, bringing with them In Your Honour, a record better than many of their more famous peers.
