Style: expressive charismatic energetic heavy metal

third album in three years reflect upon highly intense schedule for German heavy metal icon, with active touring involved as well, going strong and fully motivated with renewed fire up their collective sleeve - this refreshing, unbelievably suggestive full-length [1999] sounds the most balanced following the classic Accept-directed character, when pounding fast cuts intertwine with pure heavy metal anthems, in most cases granting insanely memorable choruses and big hooks, let alone those recognizable vocals of Udo, enriched by tense vibe in such killers as Raiders of Beyond, title track or bigger than life Shout It Out; true and traditional to the very essence, eleven songs burst with outrageous dynamics beyond belief!; recent German edition with a remastered sound, renewed design, and five live and demo bonuses marks thirteenth anniversary of this excellent recording
