Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sophomore album from the Newcastle quartet is a stomping, riff-heavy slab of British glam-infused hard rock. Featuring the powerhouse vocals of a young Brian Johnson, long before his tenure in AC/DC, the record is highlighted by a heavy, metallic reimagining of the traditional folk song 'House of the Rising Sun'.
