From the opening (after the brief, self-titled introduction) "Chainbreaker", it's easy to see the Judas Priest inspiration for this German band, fronted by ex-Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers who, indeed, did try out for the vocalist job of Priest after Rob Halford left them, and bassist/keyboardist Mat Sinner. This debut speeds a long with power and vigour as they sing against war ("Battalions Of Hate"), sing about race driving ("Formula One") and cover Deep Purple's "Speedking", while pretty much just having a great time producing good old fashioned metal for a nineties audience.
Good fun.
