Not exactly the best album the world has ever seen, but still it's rather well done. With album like this, where everything else is fine, the only question needed to ask is: do the songs kick ass or do they suck ass, and the answer is positive, as generally speaking the songs are pretty good. My favorites are "Sky's Burning", "River Of Hate" and "When Shadows Fall". If people call this euro power then IMO this is one of the more tolerable bands in the said subgenre.

Good debut but if my memory isn't completely failing on me, the band has some better album(s).

Not best debut not best PM not best what that time offered, but this later became big name in PM game, good heavy vocals, but a bit to long. I was hoping more from this.
