Not even a year passed and they belch out a 2nd CD already... In the meantime they had the chance to beat up crowds all over Europe by supporting JAG PANZER on their last European Crusade and you can hear they gained a lot of playing experience along the way. Overall this is a tiny bit more GLADIATORS and less ACCEPT and some of these songs were quite obviously written for the sole purpose of blasting whole football arenas of Metalheads into common orgasm... This without ever drifting in shallow waters as DEF LEPPARD or other "stadium bands" would've done as I should add... The vocals are still rasped like this guy gurgles with razor blades before recoding an album. But it's not grunted or screamed in any way, it's SUNG... I don't know which of the two CDs I should tell you to buy since they're equally strong. I guess whichever you see first you need to grab...!!
