after separating ways with the previous vocalist, on this fourth studio full-length [1995] Kai Hansen, first time since fundamental Walls of Jericho, takes over the vocals himself, and does that in a more than convincing way - first of all due to sincere dedication to the cause, moreover that music is in big part written by himself either; thirteen sweeping, multilayered tracks confirm the power of German expression even in darker times for the melodic genre, while both Hansi Kursch [Blind Guardian] and Michael Kiske [Helloween] make occasional guest appearance as well; deluxe anniversary digipak re-issue comes with a remastered sound, expanded by liner notes and vintage images' booklet, as well as extra disk with seven rare cuts, instrumental versions and Holocaust Heavy Metal Mania cover for the die-hard supporters
