Second album of this Swiss band, with ex-Emerald singer Jvo
Julmy in the line-up. The music is a mix of Iron Maiden, Dokken and this
sometimes with a little thrash edge. Jvo easily changes from very high vocals to
a more aggressive singing style and although he is not the best singer, he gets
away with it. After the Maiden/Dokken sounding opener, the second song "Sceptre"
is a tad heavier and the same can be said about the faster track "On the Edge".
Besides a lot of NWOBHM (read Maiden) influenced tracks, there are a few more
epic pieces too. Biggest example of that is "The Hell of Verdun".
I
don't have a lot more to say about this record. It is just
a
metal album with the typical traditional eighties influences, which will not
make any difference in the history of metal, but is just a nice album to listen
to a couple of times.
