Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting with former Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and collaborating closely with producer Roy Z, the legendary vocalist triumphantly returned to his traditional heavy metal roots. The album's soaring melodies and classic, twin-guitar riffing successfully revitalized his solo career just years before his eventual return to his former band.
