Jeff Ulmer, the singing landscaper from Canada and at the same time commander of the Metal spaceship SACRED BLADE is not exactly known to feed his few, but all the more fervent followers musical titbits on an inflationary rate. Not that his creations were bad, God no, but for almost 20 years the "Of The Sun + Moon" long player is the only official cruiser of the spheres. If there was not the Reborn Classics bootleg of "Seven Moonz Of Xercez" out there, one would not know what to do.

Now under the banner OTHYRWORLD and the title "Beyond Into The Night Of Day" we get a new sign of life of the singer. New? Yes and no, not really, because it is only the already mentioned "Of The Sun + Moon" album that’s been completely re-recorded and production wise slightly bettered. OK, this way he might be able to reach new fans, but the old maniacs would more than deserve a really new masterpiece, right Jeff? Anyways, on “Beyond ..." we get finest, cleverly devised Heavy Metal that you have all missed for so long. Demanding and super catchy at the same time. Technically perfect and with divine melody lines you just have to get this. Right now! Immediately!! Avanti!!!

OTHYRWORLD and SACRED BLADE are immune to comparisons, but who counts FIFTH ANGEL, WARLORD, EMERALD (US), TITAN FORCE... among their favourite has to get this CD. Has? Has!!! You will get a perfect jewel that you will not want to let go anymore. (Online August 6, 2005)
