Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a crucial transition for the German group, founder Kai Hansen assumed lead vocal duties following the departure of Ralf Scheepers. The album is a conceptual, highly energetic masterclass in soaring European power metal, heavily centered around themes of rebellion and science-fiction liberation. The triumphant, incredibly fast-paced anthems effectively defined the modern standard for melodic speed metal.
