The mightiness of a symphonic BM album + the progressiveness of a power metal band = the hybrid Skyfire sound.There is no doubt that Skyfire's songwriting is very good, and so is their performance. But is this enough? For me the answer is no, simply because the Swedish combo presents nothing I haven't heard before. Skyfire don't seem to push it enough in order to differentiate their style from the bunch of other BM and progressive bands out there. Even so, there are certainly people who will love this album.
