GREAT classic heavy metal in the tradition of Queensryche, Hades, Toxik, Realm, Sacred Warrior, Haven and even Insult to Injury-era Whiplash.

Ahhh... totally forgot about that album

tear up the Pavement and Pulled over are excellent songs

Where did you get your copy?

I've had my copy for years. Can't even remember where I purchased it from.

Hmmm, sounds like one I'm going to have to pick up sometime...

Oh I'm broke, but thanks anyways. I've already committed to buy some thrash rarities from a guy in Australia anyway, so my money is tied up for a bit.

I used to see this one in the cut-out bins in CD stores all the time years ago... and for whatever reason I always passed it up. Is it really that good? (Of course, I'm sure if I went trolling for it now I'd never find one...)

I've never even heard about the band (excpet for seing the name on NLTM). Must add it to the old wantlist.

Man, the bands you listed are all so different from each other. Is it really like all of them?

ack

I have this album on vinyl and beside i got one more by this band, also on vinyl (SNOWGOD, a first album that never came out oficialy back in the day) limited to 600 copies. I think it came out a couple of years ago.
To be honest i dont remember how they sound like. I realy have to check it out again soon.

I got my copy at the flea market for $5.

Yup, kind of a combination of 'em all. Has those soaring vox like
Queensryche, but is more power metal like Haven with touches of speed
metal like Toxik, Realm, etc.

Sounds like it could rock!

Yeah I have this. Pretty good album when I am in the mood for it

Good album. I picked this up on a lark about a year ago. Glad I did. I totally missed this one back in the day.

I should have their second CD soon. My buddy from Germany is sending me a copy.

sounds good too me.... have to keep an eye out for those 99-3.99 bins..... don't ever remember seeing it before, but I like the bands it's compared to....

Very good disc! I don't remember where I got it (trade, possibly), but I like it!
