This “super band” comes with its second album. Gary Barden (ex-MSG), Bernie Torme (ex- Gillan, Ozzy), Don Airey (ex- Ozzy, Whitesnake, Gary Moore), Michael Voss (Mad Max, Bonfire), and Marco Minnemann (ex- H-Blockx) are all veterans in rock music. This bunch have created a sound with a mix of all their past experiences and luggage, with melody as the key word.

The compositions are OK, as are the individual contributions.

Especially Torme’s solos are very tasteful. Because of the long history in song writing, and the co-writership of Andreas Bruhn (Sisters Of Mercy), this smooth and melodic album should reach a big audience. Minor detail: due to the (over)production, and (too much) attention to melody and choirs, the power in some songs gets completely lost. I can imagine this sounding really great live.
