August 14, 2005:
Originally released in 1986, this gem has until now been available on CD only in Japan. It contains really strong melodic metal. The guitarist Zeno Roth, younger brother of Uli Jon, has together with singer Michael Flexig and bassist Ule Ritgen written eleven tracks (this remastered edition also contains several bonus tracks) with different feel. The music is reminiscent of Uli Jon Roth, but with a sharper edge, and a touch of Eastern music traditions. Zeno Roth is, just like his brother, strongly influenced by Jimi Hendrix, and there are many fine guitar solos to be heard here. Michael Flexig delivers intense vocals, and there are plenty of songs with an anthemic feel. Worth checking out!
