Again, it's constantly speedy, stradling the line between power and thrash metal at times, and while a few songs might not leap out easily, there are many melodious and dynamic highlights all the same, like "Perished In Flames", "Dawn Of A New Age", "Heavenseeker" and "Signs" (alright, "Signs" is less dynamic, but still good), and once more the violin is a welcome touch, although it's not quite as prominent here as it was on NEVERMORE, while a couple of members of Annihilator also make appearances (on guitar, not violin).
How very sad that these German boys never got around to bringing out another record. I don't know what the various members have done since - I can't find even a small page about the band on Wikipedia. But if they ever do return, power metal fans will want to take note.
In the meantime, take note of what Galloglass has done already. It's worth it.
