Though the band's biography promises that album number two has a "bold, modern sound," Passage to the Other Side is really more of the same from the band's debut: anthemic power metal with screaming guitars, ear-splitting percussion, and robust, operatic vocals. The disc will ring true for fans of Manowar and Judas Priest -- in addition to the small but devoted legion of worldwide fans who reverently follow young upstarts such as Primal Fear -- especially given the band's lineage (this is ex-Armored Saint bassist Joey Vera's first disc as a member of the group; he joined after producing Xiled to Infinity and One, and he produces Passage as well). However, if you're not in league, Seven Witches will only serve to confirm the cheesiness inherent in the genre. Brian O'Neill, All Music Guide

January 30, 2004: First of all this is the bands 4th album, not their second. The Second War in Heaven and The City of Lost Souls were great albums w/ Bobby Lucas on vocals. Xiled was great as well but Wade Black's voice fit a little funny with the bands style. Passage is a killer album, and James Rivera sings better than he EVER did with Helstar or Destinys End. He hits the high notes with authority and this album really shows how good of a singer he actually is. The production is pretty good and the songs are written well. The only track I skip over is 6, because its a little too groovy for my taste.
