Album Notes & Community Reviews

A prominent fixture in the early Swedish hard rock scene, the quintet polished their aggressive guitar attacks with highly melodic vocal hooks for their third album. 'Mind Over Muscle' reflects the broader mid-80s transition of European heavy metal toward a more accessible, commercially viable arena sound.
