Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially intended to be released under a band moniker, this solo effort sees the former Iron Maiden vocalist aggressively pursuing a contemporary, alternative rock direction. Produced by Jack Endino, the record largely abandons traditional heavy metal gallops in favor of grunge-inspired guitar work and introspective themes.
