history
Banners High was conceived as a concept album and tells a fantasy story. Tarek "MS" Maghary said:
“ We are damn proud to release our first concept album. The story is about an oppressed people who go into battle to finally be free. We definitely didn't want to make one of those concept albums with some boring radio play parts and thousands of intros on them. The story is told by ten heavy metal anthems that can also stand up on their own. So you can just listen to the album well without getting too involved with the concept. However, if you want to immerse yourself in the story, you will experience an unbelievably epic experience and will be drawn into a world in which values such as honor, friendship, sacrifice and love of freedom still count. "
Reviews
The album was received rather cautiously by the trade press. Katrin Riedl from Metal-Hammer -Magazin wrote in her review, despite all her sympathy for the band, "the new material only sounds innovative and independent to a certain extent [...]. It will work live, and the Trve Hail faction will come here naturally." fully at their expense - for everyone else there is only one question left after 50 minutes: Why? " They awarded three out of seven points.
Jens Peters from Rock Hard rated the album more positively , who wrote in his review that he personally "liked the album a bit better than its predecessor [...]. In a direct comparison, the kitsch factor was reduced significantly, and the production also sounds a bit raw." . "
