Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the temporary return of the classic 'Mark II' lineup to celebrate their 25th anniversary, this hard rock effort is heavily defined by the intense interpersonal friction between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore. Despite the behind-the-scenes turmoil, the record delivers robust, traditional heavy metal riffing and classically inspired solos.
