Now to clarify any musical haze, Garden of Chaos totally diverts itself off the traditional metal cliff until it gracefully splashes in power metal's refreshing stream below; in fact, it's completely submerged in that particular genre while just mildly taking on some old-school heavy metal and hard rock during the dive. Using this type of blitzkrieg induces speedy riffs, beefy versus, interesting instrumental changes, fetching choruses, and rapid percussion involving machine gun-like double pedaling upon the warfront as expected, yet it always screams of originality. For example, Roy Z.'s guitar attack sways away from calculations by escorting unfamiliar riffing structures or picking patterns one could easily consider a bit odd for the genre while other unique observations are seen pressing against Rob Rock's belting vocals when it meets such a varied style. A traditional power metal release this is not, and that's where genius draws its line.

By calculating altered settings, these gentlemen work together blissfully as Garden of Chaos distinctively shows a majestic idol at its highest peak. As previously stated, it's no question Roy Z.'s different riffing effort provokes new instrumental cells to absorb fresh bass-drum combinations among its brilliant nucleus; you have a better chance of being mauled by a three-headed camel that has ham for genitals than finding a bad riff written by Roy Z. Finally, he's survived the realms of Axel Rudi Pell and Driver with a one-of-a-kind voice, yet Rob Rock's performance here reigns over everything he's ever done throughout all his musical endeavors. This man's epic voice fertilizes our luscious gathering by forcefully yelling with amazing precision and maintaining colorful pitch control; all of which earns golden status from the natural clarity in Rob's voice.

Yet melting all these wonderful aspects together forges an item from God himself: incredible songs. With Roy Z.'s ultimate riffs and Rob's divine vocals in complete unison, Garden of Chaos emits rapid numbers that lack flaw, but also venturing into brilliant melodic territory, and even the acoustic "Unconditional," which undisputedly comes out as one the record's highest notes. In fact, every track flies in such distinct areas that it seems what Rock and Roy have created goes beyond what any power metal fan could ever comprehend! Never has anything so courageous or uplifting emerged from power metal in years; I guarantee you'll find yourself in shock after witnessing how magical this entire album really is.
