Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran German power trio delivers an incredibly heavy, technically dazzling concept album centered around a biomechanical sci-fi narrative. Propelled by Victor Smolski's jaw-dropping guitar virtuosity and Mike Terrana's explosive drumming, the compositions are noticeably darker and more complex than their classic 1980s output. It represents a formidable, highly aggressive creative peak for the band's modern era lineup.
