"There's a thin line between bad and good"
Translation: Hanna Häßlein
Thereby, the essence of the latest masterstroke of
the “power metalers” of Dawn of Destiny
is already summed up.
The band managed to improve
from album to album which finally lead to their first concept-album “F.E.A.R.”. This in turn, led to the
question of how Dawn of Destiny is going to be able to top that. The answer is
“To Hell”.
This already starts with the cover, which, at first glance, seems
plainer than the other but effectively depicts the core of the album i.e. the
motifs of fire and water as well as the motif of the
suffering woman (angel and sinner at the
same time). Beautiful in its simplicity and perfectly fitting with the
story.
Unexpectedly, “To Hell” is yet
another concept-album. It tells the
story of Mary and Tim on a cruise ship during their honeymoon. They are being
chased by Ibrahim, who is confronting Mary with her dark past, which has to do
with the meaning of her tattoo “NA”
and which he is hiding from Tim. Ibrahim is forcing Mary to make a gruesome
choice.
