after six years of silence, related to renewed activities of Accept, iconic heavy/speed metal frontman returns with a time-tested drummer Stefan Schwarzmann as a new line-up addition, and fresh, indeed solid solo album number five [1997], returning to trademark loud, heavy-weighted, expressive and straightforward sound, setting up an energetic agenda with a sing-along invoking super hit Independence Day, continuing the feast with powerful Preachers of The Night and The Punisher, featuring exceptional dominating guitar riffs, catchy, harmonious choruses, thunderous drum accents, driving bass line, and never fading wish to kick with a hard rock'n roll fist, calming down the vehemence only with the final epic The Healer; recent German edition comes with a remastered sound, renewed design, plus three live and demo bonuses
