WOW! What a sleeve illustration! How epic! How heroic! How like some guy in the band had his eighth grade sister draw it for them! This record looks like some long lost power metal classic but it contains cuts with titles like "She's A Looker" and "Sweet Dream Maker." Yeah, strap on those widow-makers and spikes man. Zebra was devastatingly powerful compared to these guys. They make Triumph sound like Slayer by comparison. If you don't die laughing from the dated keyboards on the opening cut, the plodding ballad "Treat Me Right" will. Sounds like White Lion after sucking helium. This was a very indie release from this Denmark band, and probably the best the band could do at the time, but it reeks of mainstream pandering and sheltered ideas about real rock and metal music. SERIOUS collectors only, man, although it is probably incredibly valuable to mega-geeked out metal collectors. Oh, and just to note, there is a membership connection to Fate with this band, which means there's a connection to Mercyful Fate. Maybe we should play Six Degress of King Diamond here?
