career stats:

singles...................6

this album..............#6 CAN...#53 UK...#101 US
singles:
"mystery of a blood red rose".......no chart action

id never heard of these guys till I Spotified this album as a new release back in January...
anyway, theyre a symphonic hard rock band from Germany (the album peaked at #2 over there),
from the moment this one starts you can hear tracks that sound eerily similar in style to those
of early Meat-Loaf (ie the Deadringer album)...Jim Steinman's operatic rock style is all over this one,
along with those rock ballads that build up rom piano to out and out rock and roll over six or seven minutes.
obviously not the same as Steinman/Meat Loaf, but as close as you could probably get,
very good album, not sure it will grow on me any more, I feel its found its plateau to my ears.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: unchain the light
best track: mystery of a blood red rose
