Axenstar's third album again has the sound that they have made their own, primarily that of Magnus Winterwild's vocals being overdubbed to create a pleasing, harmonic effect in the songs, and yet they've managed to not repeat themselves; there's an extra maturity to the songwriting here, meaning they have managed to be successful in balancing familiarity with progress.
Whether the record is about the Spanish Inquisition or not I can't be sure, although "The Burning" might refer to witch burnings, but such songs as "The Fallen One", "Inside Your Mind" and "The Sands Of Time" are worthy pieces of power metal, helping make the album enjoyable.
