Not sure what to really think of the song, but it comes across very pedestrian and standard. Wouldn't have made it on their first and second album.

This is pretty much what I was expecting. I'm excited for this, It's great to have Sanctuary back.

Sadly, I have to agree with Marcel. After a few more listens it still doesn't make me feel much. I'm still cautiously optimistic about the rest of the album though!

Sounds a lot like a Nevermore filler track

I prefer "Into The Mirror Black" Sanctuary. This is more like Nevermore just like you guys said.

Btw it sounds ok. Welcome back Sanctuary.

It does sound a bit like Nevermore actually but I'm not complaining

It could be better with a little bit more variation, but it's not bad.

Re-listened it a lot of times. And they should never have released this as Sanctuary. It should have been released as Nevermore.

I loved Sancutary's first two albums and after 24 years, I'm hoping for just a solid performance.

This song definitely delivered that.

At least it sounds better than 'The Obsidian Conspiracy' .

Ahah That not's very difficult is it? If that is really their last album, it is a damn shame. But hey, maybe Sanctuary call deliver.

Probably on par quality wise with the last Nevermore album, and sounds very much like it could have been off it really.
