Product Description
Contents: Japanese Release featuring a Bonus Track: 'hopes and Dreams'. Amazon Review: The second album from a supergroup comprised of veterans from the European metal scene. Roland Grapow and Ulikasz, formerly of Helloween, deliver powerful German metal, while Jorn Lande's melodic vocals, heavily influenced by British rock, come together to create a new, authentic metal sound. Tracks like "Wounds," a Helloween-style song with a perfect combination of catchy melodies and crunchy riffs, "I'm Not Afraid," with its fiery chorus, and the lead single "Back for My Life," showcase a greater sense of unity and cohesion as a band than their previous work, hinting at further breakthroughs.

Product Description Japanese Release featuring a Bonus Track: 'hopes and Dreams'. Media Reviews and More Roland Grapow (guitar) and Uli Kusch (drums), who left Helloween, have formed a melodic metal act with a distinctly European richness, and this is their second album. They have firmly inherited their commitment to the dramatic power metal they have carefully built up and Grapow's shredding attitude from their previous work, but they have also made a solid effort to explore a variety of riffs and song structures, giving the impression that the scale has become a size larger. The unique characteristics of Jorn Lande, a vocalist who is good at both powerful, passionate singing and deeply expressive singing, are well utilized. (Kazuyoshi Hirano) --- February 2005 Issue -- Contents (from "CD Journal Review") The second album from the band formed by former Helloween members Roland Grapow (guitar) and Uli Kusch (drums). This gorgeous and dramatic power metal, distinctly different from Helloween's sound, has been further refined, resulting in a highly accomplished work that demonstrates the band's growth. -- Synopsis (from the "CD Journal" database)
