Media Reviews and More
This is the second album from Roland Grapow (guitar) and Uli Kasch (drums), a melodic metal act with a distinctively European flavor, founded by former members of Helloween. Grapow's carefully crafted, dramatic power metal and his driving, energetic attitude are firmly inherited from their previous album, but the band's efforts to explore a wide variety of riffs and song developments are also clearly evident, giving the impression of a larger scale. Jorn Lande's unique vocal talents, both powerful and passionate, are well utilized. (Kazuyoshi Hirano) --- February 2005 Issue -- Contents (From "CD Journal Review")

Amazon Review
The second album from this super band of veterans of the European metal scene. The powerful German metal of former Helloween members Roland Grapow and Urikasch, combined with Jorn Lande's melodic vocals heavily influenced by British rock, creates a new, authentic metal sound. With tracks like the Helloween-style "Wounds," featuring a perfect combination of pop melodies and slicing riffs, the heroic chorus of "I'm Not Afraid," and the lead single "Back for My Life," this album exudes a more cohesive and unified band than their previous album, hinting at even greater potential.
