Album Notes & Community Reviews

Considered a defining pinnacle of classic US power metal, the Los Angeles band's third album balances aggressive speed metal velocity with towering, highly melodic choruses. J.D. Kimball's gritty, impassioned vocal delivery perfectly anchors the epic, fantasy-driven heavy metal riffing.
