Progressive metal fans will be happy to see this new album. Sweeping, almost-classical keys create subtle nuances against the precise and loud metal guitars and classic metal vocals. You'll even find melodies like "Taps" and "Auld Lang Syne" alongside Dio and Helloween-like metal. Some of the music sounds a bit funny being performed with big, bombastic major-key power chords, but the soloing quickly adds credibility. There's some really cool vocals in "Big City Sharks," which sways from melodic ballad to Iron Maiden rocker. Complete with some brilliant album artwork (sometimes I miss vinyl jackets), this album definitely has its moments. Power metal fans rejoice! You can order the album directly from places like Rad Rockers.

Dead Zine 1998Reviewed by HadeSlayeRAnyone who sees this album in ANY store, BUY IT!!! You must be wondering why I said that, well it's cuz this album is the 2nd 10/10 winner in my review section. Guitars which sound like a herd of horses galloping towards the horizon. Double bass pedal like roaring thunder! Mind you, I'm writing this review 1 month after I received the album. And I'm not sick of it and I listen to this CD at least…
